Alexis Martinez Poem
If became a criminal the room would you tie me down to the bed, and show me how to be the good little girl you wish me to be. I'll get on my knees begging daddy to forgive me. Show the criminal side of me daddy is the one in charge here. What you say is the only way and I shall not disobey. Grab me by the throat hold me against the wall anything you need to do to show me right from wrong,but even then maybe being a criminal in the room isn't so bad when all the punishments I seem too love.

Alexis Martinez Poem
I cried all night waiting for you
But that didn't matter to you
I called for you hoping you'd come to me
But you were to far gone to notice me
So I say Mother is no Mother
Mother is no longer here
Mother just made me feel like I didn't belong here
I waited many years for mother to change
After waiting for so long my emotions turned from sad to range
Mother is is no Mother
She never loved me
Mother will never be my mother

Alexis Martinez Poem
When I'm in a crowd I paint a face that I think people will embrace
I know I sound like a disgrace
When I'm alone I'm empty and lost
Don't have any idea on who I am
It's something I ask myself over and over
Am I the girl who's to be alone and unhappy
Or is there by chance a life past the mask and loneliness
I just have to ask
Who am I
Just tell me

Alexis Martinez Poem
Unexpected love is more magical than I thought. It pops up when you least expect it I almost forgot what true love really was until you showed up. After years of being heartbroken, and unhappy you came in and turned it all around just by the way you show me you care even if we're miles apart this unexpected love we have is better and stronger than the love I had with the man that was in the same room as me.

Alexis Martinez Poem
I'm alone in a deep dark Hole
Should've known that you'd
Be the one to break my heart
Make me feel like it was all my fault
Why did you lie to me
Told me me that you loved me
That you would never leave me
Now I'm back where I was before all alone in deep dark hole

Alexis Martinez Poem
I try so hard to be good enough
I follow all that you say
So you say the past is in the past
But at the end of everyday you still see me the same way
You told me that the past would stay in the past
But the past isn't in the past cause you won't let it
I've started to build a wall between me and you
Cause I can't bare to keep looking at you
Seeing you will only make me lose the love that I have left for you
I know I did wrong
But I've learn and changed
But all that I do just seems to just go to waste
So you say you love me
Well then why can't you accept the new me
Why can't you leave the old me behind
And let us live our new lives
So you say this
So you say that
All that you is nothing but trash

Alexis Martinez Poem
I question my existence
Year after year,
Month after month,
Week after week,
Day after day
It all feels the same.
The same four walls,
The same quiet echoes,
The same small footsteps
Running through my days.
Don’t get me wrong
I love my children.
I love them with everything in me.
But somewhere between
Becoming a mom
And becoming a wife,
I misplaced myself.
The girl I used to be
Feels like a distant memory,
A name I barely recognize.
So who am I
Outside these four walls?
Outside of “Mom”?
Outside of “Wife”?
When the noise fades
And the house falls still
Who is left standing?
Because lately,
I’m not sure
I know her at all.

Alexis Martinez Poem
I speak in velvet tones,
but my silence cuts cleaner than blades.
They mistake my gentleness
for surrender.
My softness
for something they can press fingerprints into
and leave.
They have never met
the girl who survives quietly.
I do not raise my voice.
I raise my standards.
I do not beg.
I observe.
And when I leave
I do it like winter.
No warning.
Just absence.
My love is warm, yes.
Honeyed. Slow. Devoted.
But my detachment?
Glacial.
You will search for me
in rooms I once lit up,
and find only echoes
that refuse to answer back.
I was never fragile.
I was controlled.
There is a difference.
I learned long ago
that the loudest power
is restraint.
So I let them underestimate me.
Let them think softness means safe.
Until they realize
too late
Velvet can still suffocate.
