My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeq2sQLrog

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qbYI6NW5

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWWXHHz9aS

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvwv8DrXBN

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVPpZFMmwp

Who Am I?

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0kQSgr4Q

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPtaPKUUba

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6TXdw0gzN

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUB2HbuCpu

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NyryKgmR

Fractured Reflection

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DcaQkQRzS

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.

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRAa5KERGs

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYIZF5lFCk

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk78OnJ3Av

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPgvsom0Rv

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOC55uk7Jf

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKfQJhjf88

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Ztg9IHyd

Sister

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7dKYTh8D4

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwxyC8EM82

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNTqBRi9M

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8DZDxl5Fc

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1dXRLvam

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3dWKDgbrw

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3hrIGz1ya

Why I Write

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABRAV2PA7r

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0MhCRbjJX

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cICU4gCLz

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZpLaKZ7We

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

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwoicHjpo0

I Long For...

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQMyz36ytL

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubb2RaSU9b

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlGckidsJ4

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFGjw8FD0a

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QQdvCgGV

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMoK4pRNEh

Open my heart

And peek inside

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFASLT2em1Q

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJhQ7eSSyp

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhHyNxzdv6

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW07y74NRr

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jc1mHOB0K

Open my heart

And take a look

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO9wYmddBN
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXK7mdFmiw
