My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvinzX2lNoS

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAZVwJYetX

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NOdFtO2pj

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrAVIJu2D0

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NtDJG9TO9

Who Am I?

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvVOo4onqJ

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs6A312FFn

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH9K6KOZvx

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITkpDt0X6

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGbfYWuDeq

Fractured Reflection

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDSu8Qe0kk

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB5hAf3tHN

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNZ9gv703d

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoGiW0q2fM

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBkYPeC15q

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIjYN2IDHd

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYAfs2TtHQ

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1xxi0McqM

Sister

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCBvKWUqQ9

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER3qS8uJ8c

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6BkuAFe8X

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzskROBu9h

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVFSRssLAo

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8e0VemWo

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEpfTgP15G

Why I Write

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxViUdyKxTf

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz9CJusPFr

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN6zAzXl7E

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqZGCguNM

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmkiuholWq

I Long For...

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKIb7TQ7of

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4VxJDPrtW

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEOAE3dWFo

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcgvOtOASd

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjU0kLeJr

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ELqqeARO

Open my heart

And peek inside

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmd4oM0eQe

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfLMKOFZmY

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcStQWhM8Mo

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjabVNVB5oW

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaB5MfEkxB

Open my heart

And take a look

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNdlCoJg8T
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiLqcAGKAZ
