My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyWLEy5SKt

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67KhzzuZW

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLemONuFHW

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFVJTeCYdp

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TnYBpAPbU

Who Am I?

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn53yfAnpq1

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFzNcbE0Dw

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTlpitZbNu

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYRB17R3Ae

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuTSJ9PTql

Fractured Reflection

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl3Mwylxdz

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.

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQZvWrsHEW

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cevqlKD2G

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKwflbSAwy

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsIFtdIaXh

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Nxvmb2s7

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvrWiJlQtZ

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKA5Xpsutk

Sister

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6d3C7zJrz

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDOmdkBOh8

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotFOGvFSxB

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYp5Dvi7p

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2XVV5BcbN

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Je0DSECP

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOGSXJ8FUm

Why I Write

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHRmsWDOdN

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zyspwbTgb

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HsoKVxl5s

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqbF4bNNGe

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

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGtHjYD6iE

I Long For...

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zt8xoaqf7

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBoCPc3M2l

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsC7iLOHdF

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ExaojpsKR

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq4NHulBK3

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WpfGzmEx8

Open my heart

And peek inside

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3TFTE5Xf8

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDfZK6N7y

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9LkHLvlaO

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp9IRbGzfF

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hMwsrruo

Open my heart

And take a look

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJm5AXlJTX
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become
