Separate Poems
  Hear the heart[break]
  and soon
  the heart[ache]
  will settle
  in the dusk of noon[afternoon].
  
  My blood glows[shines]
  like the sun
  that falls down,
  along with my broken[shattered]
  heart on the ground.
  
  You blow me away[gone]
  on the wind,
  like I'm made
  of feathers,
  and I don't matter.
  You threw me
  like I was a doll,
  at the corner[edge]
  of the room
  because my face
  was unfamiliar
  and I'm
  smudged with tears on me;
  my lifeless, face always smiling at you.
  
  You played[toyed]
  with my heart
  like I was a toy,
  that you were amused in,
  but soon lost interest
  and put me under your bed;
  forgetting me.
  
  I'm just a ballerina[dancer]
  who's trapped,
  behind glass walls[barriers];
  who keeps on dancing[moving],
  despite the strength
  she's losing
  in her legs
  and the pain
  in her feet.
  
  Or I'm just the moth
  who flies at night
  or the "pathetic" butterfly
  that soars,
  garbed in grey
  and clothed in black
  and streaked with mud,
  from last night's rain.

I was inspired by a few writers on Teen Ink, by my thoughts, by my past and by God to write this. A lot of these could be seperate poems, that I'll be working on; but I wanted to share it with ya'll.
Thank you for taking time to read it. :)
