cecelia warner Poems

My life was based
on masking the truth,
not allowed to express feelings
buried throughout my youth.

By: Shannah Mackey

My family is broken and cannot be fixed.
I wonder if they love me or if I'm even missed.
...

He never saw her tears,
He never saw her pain,
...

Creating a small island of hope in a sea of ruin
Sparkling and bright on Delery Street
...

I've tried to hate you
for reasons I will try to explain.
It maybe too late now
but this I can no longer contain.
...

You've planted many flowers for us
that are now starting to grow.
Some of them I know by name
but others, I just don't know.
...

School's starting soon and I can't wait
I hope the bus isn't running late
...

Laugh Clown laugh,
that's what they want me to do.
I guess I'm doing something right
because this Clown made you laugh too.
...

So many mixed emotions
just want to scream and shout!
What needed to be said
just should've come out!
...

There's a safe that holds
lots of valuable things,
more precious than gold
and diamond rings.
...

God took you for a reason.
A reason we don't know.
But, it was your time to go.
God took you for a reason.

I read the one my cousin David wrote and found it really funny. It inspired me to write this one about a stupid girl.

Running through the snow

I got a little bored and wrote these. PLEASE don't use them to break up with someone.

1. Roses are red. Violets are blue. Life is to short. To spend it with you.

Your beauty's in your flowers
...

We've spent so many
precious years together
and now it's come
to a heartbreaking end.

The Best Poem Of cecelia warner

Masking The Truth

My life was based
on masking the truth,
not allowed to express feelings
buried throughout my youth.
'Don't tell others
what goes on behind closed doors, '
still masking the truth
and developing sores.
As time passed,
as time always does,
what was masking the truth,
still is, as it was...
I'm not talking about
telling big or even little white lies,
I'm tallking about masking pain
through silence and lying eyes.
If all this seems too confusing
then try walking in my shoes...
It feels just as confusing
because these are not the feelings I'd choose!
Most of my life,
the reason or situation didn't matter,
the mask would go up
as I feel my sanity shatter.

My sister Cecelia, my true sister by blood With her poems, the memories for me start to flood And as I start to realize that poetry is her hidden gift My feelings on how we grew up takes an unexpected shift In families such as ours, we all had our roles I happened to be the favorite, the spotlight I stole And her role, as it were, was to be the clown Friends flocked to her because she was fun to be around But as old and tiring as these roles had gotten over the years, when siblings get together, roles turned into battle gear It's how we grew up and so, learned how to cope through the dysfuntion, what was there to hope? I see it now, Cel, the sadness through the smile I see the crack in the mask, it's been there all the while It's hidden so well, as long as others keep laughing your sense of humor is really your sadness-in-masking I hope you already know this, but I'll tell you here I love you so much, and close to my heart I hold you so dear We have so many things that we will never agree upon but understanding you better through poetry is now what's spawned I thank you so much for the opportunity to look into your soul I'm happy you now have people in your life making you feel whole And before too long, I hope to see you finally hold your head up high and that you'll put down that mask... and kiss it goodbye. Welcome to Poemhunters, I know they'll love your company, sista. Much love, Lee
