  • Confidence

    I’m not a size zero

    I can’t throw it back

    I’m definitely not a hero

    And I’m okay with that

    For the first time I didn’t do my face

    Held up my phone

    My smile in place

    As the flash glowed 

    I had never felt so naked

    Laid everything out bare

    I was only without makeup

    But I used to wear it everywhere 

    There’s a freedom to this 

    Not being worried about my skin

    My body’s not perfect

    But I’m building confidence

    Things don’t fall into black and white 

    There are a million shades of grey

    So what seems to you as the only right

    Can be seen by someone else a different way

    I’m learning my limits

    I’m not letting you be the one to push them

    If you say something about me

    I’m ignoring you

    I’m learning to be happy

    You should be too 

  • Battle Scars

    Inside my lies

    All I show is I’m fine

    They didn’t see them

    All the lines drawn in

    Battle scars

    They decorate my arms

    A secret fight

    I never wanted in the light

    It’s not about them

    Or even their words

    It’s about me

    And how I’m not my perfect girl

    Skinny, pretty or fit

    This is all I feel helps it

    Battle scars

    Decorating my arms

    Words mean so little and so much

    I don’t believe the word love

    Happy has just become a lie

    And you’ve become fine with goodbye

    Battle scars 

    Have filled these arms

    The blade shines in invitation

    All it takes is one motion

    Red and flowing

    I can do this without you knowing

    Battle scars

    On more than just my arms

    Battle scars

    They decorate my arms

    A secret fight

    I never wanted in the light

  • Hush

    I post in secret

    Shedding the “good girl” they see

    On those days when I rock it

    Blocked my entire family

    Hush, hush, no one needs to know

    Hush, hush, this is what makes the show

    Innocent is a fun game to play

    When no one knows you’ve learned so much

    Naïve and gullible- she’s just that way

    Unfortunately they don’t see I’ve grown up

    Hush, hush, in circles we go

    Hush, hush, enjoy the show

    So maybe I’m just a little much

    Posting daily, not hiding much

    There will come a day I’ll probably stop

    Only because at consistency I suck

    Hush up, don’t show them now

    Hush up, the ratings are down

    Good girls never do bad

    Or so they want you to think

    But good girls are best at bad

    We’ve learned to hide many things

    Hush up, here’s the big moment

    Hush up, a choice- can she make it?

    The wildflower scene is done in a dead field

    She dances among nothing

    CGI is used to make it all look real

    The result is undeniable beauty 

    Hush, hush, this is where love would come in

    Hush, hush, if this was going to be the end

    The choice I made was for me

    A way to fall in love with me

    I’m showing off to many strangers

    But don’t worry- they only know I’m a she/her

    Hush, hush, the end is on the screen

    Hush, hush, A bow and the star leaves

  • Introduction

    Hello, my name is Faith. I’m 33, 34 in June, and I’ve been writing since I was in middle school.

    My poetry started out in the form of song lyrics; with three verses and a chorus that would repeat throughout. Finally, after a few years of that, I let myself write without that kind of structure and began just writing poems.

    I’ve been posting screenshots of my poems from my notes app on Instagram (username @noted.writings) and I’ve decided they deserve to have their own site.

    Please enjoy my poetry and I hope you feel something from all of them.

    -Faith
