My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqOlYp9GQt

I wear of mask of innocence

A mask that shows my youthfullness

I wear a mask of happiness

A mask that shows my brightest smile

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UaJoIz3YT

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxrX9QxBK

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLuMjJuasw

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUFdtjac84

Who Am I?

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO74kAJtpBN

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdekJMZG9u

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoA013aUp1

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ1RvLSoi4

I am the stars

I am an artist with words

I am a flower that won’t wither away

I am a spring that always bounces back

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEicF7Yb70

Fractured Reflection

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M9uqN5REQ

I stare into my mirror.

Dissecting the girl

For a hollow echo

Of the person she once was.

But the glass stays cold and silent;

A sterile cage

For the girl who vanished,

The one who deserted me,

When I needed her most.

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZDiqJx4NM

The girl who stares back at me

Is not the same eccentric girl…

She is scarred and broken

Hollowed out by life

discarded, so no one sees,

The stranger who cries herself to sleep.

Broken by the world she once loved

Now cursed to haunt my glass

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPeN3iGEyN

My hand reaches out

Only to take her place in the frame

I look out from the other side

And see a stranger staring back once more

Her hair is graying

Her eyes swollen shut

But she is undoubtedly me

So I wait for the next hand to reach in

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fkGvuTPk5

Smoke: A Signal

Love is a treat I can't afford

Perfection is the goal I'll never reach

Mama is the person I'm supposed to be

Attention is something I strive for

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcviwGEoVh4

The house of my mind is set ablaze

Does the smoke signal for attention or help

Do my tears ask for a comfort or a command

Does my blood boil with rage or envy

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0qgXKRbX8

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8krjGRbxi2

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiToOajGGJV

Sister

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCZ4sXEURi

I miss the girl I used to love

The sister who would laugh with me

The younger sister who would talk to me

I miss the girl my sister was

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD02BWDIdbz

I miss the hugs I’d get from her

I miss the nights she’d cuddle up with me

I even miss when we’d argue

Because we always made up

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcUnxYDgul

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEdLRINgWt

Her secondary language is spoken through her fist

Her smile veiled by a shadow so dark

Yet the silence I receive hurts worse

Than any punch to the face

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YENBRqhzt

I can’t remember when exactly

It is that she stopped talking to me

I wish I knew what I did

So I could fix my mistake

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYhOJtSMIu

I miss the little girl who cried with me

I miss the baby sister who needed me so much

I miss the games we used to play

And miss the girl who smiled at me and meant it

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSObnPxlTw

Why I Write

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl4qhkVmPP

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOKqj8ApnJ

When I write I can face my darkest thoughts

I can confront my deepest secrets

I can find comfort in the words I put onto paper

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1PKD1Sr01

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGHNNp5yrQ

I write to let out all my inner aggravations

With myself and others

I write to find peace in the past,

Focus on the present,

And dream of the future

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dF9hl0Gs9

I Long For...

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvbEt9m1tv

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3tivHVQoC

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ44E6Mukr

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCVtrZRDfT

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjiJOGw04e

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMng7XiIY6

Open My Heart

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYnn5mKIIh

Open my heart

And peek inside

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKjwGeSfwe

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYIof1ykB4

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkkdzP55N3

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsHuMi1LWI

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9UhUEmmV4

Open my heart

And take a look

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVS96cMoh0
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNpKd0798
