My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZio4df9I

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzi9yDn89A

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vHVzHXw8

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ksnxdknd

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtJVKzXWrC

Who Am I?

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh3Ja0ctv8

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCmoV03S0K

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1PubyKc20

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHPwtTRPxq

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZYAbpCh99

Fractured Reflection

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDMeowQVU1

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.

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzMqSuPI7Y

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIlfD7pYNV

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQiQwyyzAw

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u5KeHWKv6

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOhteNIvb7

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaOGfOfPQZ

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGB70uLNz8

Sister

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8jFcAkfEc

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXunmKqL23

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ92vUlMxtO

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulyCsDgrnm

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcko2ibsT

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB6d3tiLRN

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgiBnfESy

Why I Write

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkh75RERFt

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnhPeFFkRO

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz1xLkpoAm

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hpnj6eXMC

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

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9e5Z29sCT

I Long For...

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA4C61YYeh

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOO5F88dRX

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyhjKvcg9g

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQbUOHJWAs

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pXxUxTA5V

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7dYYDqjZ

Open My Heart

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTKSr6l76P

Open my heart

And peek inside

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO6hhvOn6w

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU8UyuF3df

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Ep1Ui8IT

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYktGB8Bs8

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG635Tvcrm

Open my heart

And take a look

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbAalQ2FNy
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzMI8w9VUU
