My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsev63cSX7

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRsyk6VwLa

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjRZqckE6X

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXPLA5Mw36

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGJJHynf8E

Who Am I?

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qsAm5ZnK

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm5pN35ZED

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0nHMfuWC4

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDJE7GRWSZ

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM20Yy4qF2v

Fractured Reflection

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHriuyUt54

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.

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUTpHULUE

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRUy8KoEjz

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRSOwTFhMz

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYFjI5mnvY

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcp8FpkPY1

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbu6QZruZy

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RMJ4uABuG

Sister

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEWBS15FM

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFNdLQ4asV

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8g6j90FRm

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGGjz869Dl

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7owWF8KorI

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWGfMVbl3E

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoxE8ounDa

Why I Write

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyFXCMRrew

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3pxcvDfUz

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTWidUeNht

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivy8lxiGRh

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

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHRStzDF7D

I Long For...

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO2sjMV3Ai

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg9lo3pJdn

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj9sLvoJYd

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1m8gRxnOh

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDIE29DvT7

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG34daPS2nC

Open My Heart

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx56VNE7vc

Open my heart

And peek inside

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKGS9TtLgn

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh0eKwSBjW

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Jqpu5l80

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Szf6Fp9lW

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAKxfLLnmn

Open my heart

And take a look

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgRaViwyon
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrYj2EUmGr
