My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzLmEvEhIc

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk9v6kOCCL

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgRleT8Z7s

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pfWL3XGgc

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rTWQGHXcf

Who Am I?

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZYFNLQcjZ

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH0cRIvJiX

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxbzF60zJP

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwzi4Bq3n

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNyjOLya0

Fractured Reflection

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQPOfJt45M

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.

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lkxVFEFap

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgbbgXndFp

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwYa7SunGz

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiVQfSwfdB

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TM7cwvII

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrSKZ4YRCW

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3JeNhhoIR

Sister

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSl78ijmGB

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSauYmOETm

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjubpjrOjx

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ly3Ip1VxW

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqUNILRWfz

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMICKMzOK6Y

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllksJuDxwF

Why I Write

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjxWaIw2TO

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnJ8elBO2S

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva7ox7IJz5

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucjgg2s42X

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

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpl9yuAR3J

I Long For...

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTyrSMNFDZ

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0RjccXnz0

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw6lB5ydAf

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduddWK1lTK

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHfbWvSSFa

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81TWNuwqTY

Open My Heart

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4rV2RGjmV

Open my heart

And peek inside

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyOxrtkdDa

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnCg1PPbXH

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrOvahJGf9

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFRGHrheYA

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnpbZPwyD4

Open my heart

And take a look

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAgmrVN8hf
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjbFdMlWNx
