My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYtVFlqKq5

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk1FBYAL4I

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPmPzqpsQL

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYV4hOueF9

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmzkZw98Ys

Who Am I?

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyAMbJWajS

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA1afw4zTs

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjKmkWHXw

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCWuOaCFQ

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl5DR8tNzg

Fractured Reflection

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9v0a3PB63

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.

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgtYHuY3qV

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94fnHcJ1GK

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNgy6XPIDR

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczr2nm2kEf

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZIMGgIKob

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ2HNtWB5b

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4eV2ORpXM

Sister

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTVFNXcUMn

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PG34lY02V

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gABscv40X

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZga3Af7Eer

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZETlFuVfd

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqAQB9EJug

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAYu5B9HYB

Why I Write

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0I9ARPJ7C

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlruqaTTj4

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2b509Ou8Y

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34nalMDy4w

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

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdrNOdbDxg

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeNSUua1Sl

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFYMX62Vgn

A break from those

Who live for my pain

Upon all those

Who have hurt

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKezMQR3yY

And peek inside

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhddnaEyoq

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznCIOGILGl

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ouUHvMB5

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0xCGvKvw

Open my heart

And take a look

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMi8X6mwHM
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi5rAL8PgB
