My Poetry
My Mask
I never take off
The mask I wear
That's the only way
A lot of people will care
You always told me
I was your friend
Then you ditch me
And lie in the end
Why would you lie
Telling me you'll be there
And then stab me in the back
When I take off the mask that I wear
I trusted you too much
I put my heart in you hand
Then you tore it apart
So I put on my mask again

The people who are there
And who care about me
Are the ones I try to hide from
I never take off my mask for them to see
I do this because of you
I do it because you lied
You killed part of my soul
And I cried and cried

You hurt me more than anyone
But you also made me strong
I may have been sad
But that didn't last too long

You made me realize who my my true friends are
The ones who really care about me
That is who I trust now
And i will take off my mask for them to see

Me
Expression
What I do
How I feel
Rejected
What I am
No one cares
Creativity
Mine lacking
But I see clouds in my mind
Free
I will never be
Held down
Ball and chain
No escape
Not meant to be understood
Different
Why I am rejected
Not accepted
Because I am me
The only person
I know to be
Though shunned and hated
I am me

Dream
Affection
In my dreams you hold me close
Never let go
We are happy
Perfect
Yet when I wake
You are gone
Who are you?
Will we ever meet?
In your arms
Will I ever be?
Must I sleep
To see your face
To feel your warm embrace
I dream of you
Every night
Do you dream too?
Of a girl perfect and sweet?
Boy in my dreams
Do you dream of me?

True Friend (you know who this is for)
We have not been friends for very long
But when I'm around you I feel like I belong
Always knowing your a phone call away
Helps to brighten up my day

We may not see each other every day
But it's good to know
You will be behind me
All the way

Whenever you feel you need a friend
Know that on me you can always depend
We will stick together through thick and thin
Knowing that together we will always win

Guys and girls will come and go
Many of them we will never really know
One day one of us may move away
And our short lived friendship may end
but I always want you to remember
The words I am about to say

No matter what happens
No matter how far away
You will always be my true friend
Forever and a day

Ocean
Waves crash
The sun goes down
The air is a tad bit cold
And there is no one around
The seagulls quietly
Circle the sky at night
Everything is silent
And the moon is shining bright
You reach for a hand
That you imagine is there
Only to touch a pile of sand
That fills your soul with despair
In your mind you see perfection
The person right for you
Then the cold water splashes your face
And you realize your dreams may never come           true
Did you realize the beach at night
Makes everything seem perfect and right
Then the perfection is shattered
And you remember every flaw in your life
At the first sign of morning light
