My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKK7ReX300

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiKUSnvB5M

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmpe3C48j7

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKtnemj9Lf

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO7QpLSWYb

Who Am I?

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvdFUX70RE

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc95BrcnchD

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ9bGxnvO6

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVuXN4eywZ

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBxsYU4Mwc

Fractured Reflection

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3amT33OMjf

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.

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPRT5dxJVj

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze6Onts31g

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJZiWsvXGx

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVItbenzM6

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPdhf16qdW

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoqyJ8Eqqi

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wces7JXFj

Sister

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbVD7K8Pl7

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXSmQ6FcRE

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDefKVL9F1

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgMN8IxIBj

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NS83Ekuwp

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBXRB8Fy1Q

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521T151avN

Why I Write

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh3qSgnsmn

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgjjQbgzn

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT6I8jYIxl

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ofJ5pUcrg

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1JQOaBTxO

I Long For...

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjNPejgtt9

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6p4syPihD

I long for a break

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05ndJJedS

And peek inside

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6OROKP7FJ

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw6YBZDE6i

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEOjbec8mX

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl31LaOYlM

Open my heart

And take a look

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJU4tqBtm
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZGkmppRht
