My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LG608y4Pq

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08uMpkgxGe

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDBTnAjczl

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z1TZC2NTn

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHFQnZN0o9

Who Am I?

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTzGFAWwyq

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk7P08043K

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4oN7ckhiA

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXE5B2i3Md

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU5KRpDNrj

Fractured Reflection

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pa8uBU2Uc

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.

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmOmbXB8Du

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDZy0q4jL5

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxZ00NKzLs

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ruMHrV0n

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSkh7av9ky

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWemPoot625

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewFghledq

Sister

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHJlKJj5b

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBq6Qt5fJ

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NaqcSjft7

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TLG6nUTQ0

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXAscR17h

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVNmiTItc2

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ftdZxaeC6

Why I Write

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Q7iMr4zz

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4fGbiXoUD

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgEkEUlTj

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bKntKCijN

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMljf3gM2n

I Long For...

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXqQIvpfk

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4X9vm5IMf

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58StZxnwin

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

Upon all those

Who have hurt

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimogaJWl37

Open my heart

And peek inside

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaukYhOcFAM

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx1NYvUqul

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcEuJgoTkB

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBa0aRdQiO

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUOm6LGzz2

Open my heart

And take a look

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmJUUt8eMU
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5GhJJA5sa
