Repressed Feelings of Self-Portrayal

By Samantha Bagnato

Have you ever felt emotions or desires, especially those that could be considered by some as shameful or depressing?
We are all a product of our environment and we each repress feelings in hope that they will subside.
As humans, we have all experienced these feelings at one time or another.
This book is a collection of poetry surrounding the topics of Self – betrayal, confession, self-discovery, rejection and love.

The misjudgments of others don’t define the truth of yourself, they simply only show you the truth of others.

Puzzle

My life

Is a puzzle

Yet to be

Solved,

My mind

Is a maze

That I myself

Am lost in.

My heart

Is full

Of warmth

My soul

A treasure

To find

My values

I hold dear,

As they took

A while to find.

My body is a temple

Not for the

Weak at heart.

My life is a puzzle,

I told you at the start.

Mistaken

A warm home

To live,

A bed to lie,

A chance

To love

Again.

A tight embrace

A kind word

Spoken,

Lets cold

Hearts re-open.

A smile followed

Without a

Frown

Helps the strongest

Walls crash down.

Once so scared

Now awaken,

A life

Can never

Be mistaken.

Broken Past 

A dream to live another day,

A chance to survive,

As hopes slip away.

With question of why

The beauty within

Gives opportunity to those

Who wish to win.

A life without dreams,

Holds empty spaces

Near one’s heart

With nowhere to escape,

A broken past.

Reason

Crying shame

Anyone’s game,

Fighting to win

The start looks dim.

Reason with truth

Followed behind,

Fears of tomorrow

Set aside.

No one

No one hits harder

Than the one you

Love,

No one makes

Your heartache

And your body

Feel numb.

No one helps you

Understand the beauty

You hold within,

No one helps you fight

Your demons

Ensuring that you’ll

Win.

No one satisfies your needs

Nobody speaks your mind

No one, but the one

You love

Is there for you all the time.

Blue

A child neither simple nor rare places a crayon on a table with a blank sheet of paper,

This child is unaware of what to write or draw,

But this child doesn’t like building sandcastles anymore.

Sitting with a crayon in her hand,

The child starts to move,

Even with her wrist swaying so softly

She finds she is drawing,

But the crayon is marking blue,

Blue isn’t the colour crayon the child intended to use,

So, she puts it back into the box,

The crayon now has been used.

A New Alright

Reviews for Repressed Feelings of Self-Portrayal

[Alina Goldsman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book clearly demonstrates the human mind! Mixed with poetry containing psychology, emotions, growing up, death and so much more. Added proudly to my home library, only wish it was written when i was a teen trying to find my way to adulthood. Samantha Bagnato is brilliant!
