A Feeling of Betrayal
Cheyenne Smith Sep 2021
Feelings of betrayal time and time again
All of your hatred & dishonesty is resulting in immense pain
I have thoughts that I can’t detain
You wouldn’t wanna know what’s happening inside of my brain

I gave you heartfelt honesty but then I lost your trust
Our relationship getting buried away until there is a large amount of dust

I felt like I had been stabbed in my back with a razor-sharp knife
How long until I get betrayed another time?
I guess breaking a person’s faith is a way of life
Without the way you’ve played Judas then there wouldn’t be a rhyme

Let me remind you of which line you crossed
How much do manners and respect cost?

Climbing the Mountains
Cheyenne Smith Oct 2021
I fought extremely hard to get where I am
I cannot explain the intensity and height of the mountains I have climbed
I was often told I would never succeed
I exceeded expectations & now I am pleased
I used to have zero self-belief
I was once innocent and naive
I could have hidden in my own little world
Instead, I strived for greatness
I was constantly asking myself questions
Is there a way out of this war?
Is there any chance I could succeed?
I went to having little self-belief
I’ve now got pride in what I’ve achieved
I never gave up, I never gave in
Intensive dedication is what it took
It started from carrying inner strength
Is there anything I can’t accomplish?

Trapped in my mind
Cheyenne Smith Nov 2019
Why do I feel so trapped in my mind?
Why do I feel that the world would be better off if I died?
Why do I feel like I’ll never be enough?
Why do I feel that I’ll never be loved?

My conscience ***** me around
I don’t want to die, I’m longing to feel very alive
Holding on to memories of laughter, enchantment and delight
Wondering if I’ll ever win this fight?
Will I ever have a happy ever after?

I can’t recollect the last time I felt truly blessed
I lost sight of what was realistic
For many years my mind has left me believing that I’m possessed
I feel incredibly pessimistic


I just crave for a life where I feel adored
I wish I wasn’t drowning in my mind
I hope all my happiness and faith can be restored
I wish depression wasn’t so unkind.

Waves
Cheyenne Smith Aug 2019
When life is challenging, I no longer want to die.
Instead, I sometimes want to escape and fly.

Watching the waves drift by
Hoping you’ll always be by my side
Our love is as strong as the way the moon controls the tide.

🔥The Eternal flame 🔥
Cheyenne Smith Sep 2021
30 years have gone by
Since the devastating day of 15th April 1989
96 shining stars we view in the night sky
The day where rivalries draw a line
Back then the system gave Football fans injustice
Hoping and protesting for true justice
Years of failings from the police
Longing for justice so the 96 can rest in peace
The fans were never to blame
Liverpool will continue lighting the eternal flame
Written two years ago. Now it’s 32 years and 97.

A New Chapter
Cheyenne Smith Oct 2021
I remember when you said I’d be yours forever
Suddenly the forever turned out to be never
You shot me so far down and I initially struggled to reach the top

I gained knowledge after the relationship
Knowledge of how I was under somebody’s whip
I honestly felt like I was losing my breath from asphyxiation
From that moment, I knew I had to try my hardest to stop myself from future manipulation

After a year and a half of heartbreak and hopelessness
I eventually ended up in truly loving arms
I’m no longer a piece on a board of chess
No more false alarms
For now, my relationship is as gleaming as an elegant sparkling red dress
This poem is about going from a controlling relationship to one where you’re treated right.

The love I have for you
Cheyenne Smith Aug 2019
You’re sweeter than a gummy bear
You’re extremely unique, special and rare.
I love you with all my heart, showing I really care.

My feelings for you rapidly grew
When I’m not with you I’m greatly blue
What I wouldn’t do to be in between your arms cuddling you
Feeling a sense that’s so brand new.

Black Lives Matter
Cheyenne Smith Jun 2020
Before you judge, ask why is it this way?
Listen to them, take it in is what I’d advise
All lives matter is what you say?
Could you please try and hear their voice?
Kindness could eventually beat this hate

Listen to their cries, worries and fear
Is that really what you want to hear?
Violence and mistreatment happens
Energy & positivity is the way to go
Stand up tall & lift your hands up in the air

Maybe if black lives matter then all lives will
Are you ready to take part?
To show the world the fire that is in your heart
To fight against the prejudice and malice?
Each person should unite and fight
Remember to lift your hands in the air

It was all a lie
Cheyenne Smith Aug 2019
They consistently remarked for me to glance up at the stars and make a wish however when I wish to be adored and beautiful like her it never fing works.
Never f
ing works
Never ever f*ing works
Guess it was all a lie but so is my life, wake up daily wishing I wasn’t alive, wishing I was elegant and content but that wish is never granted.
A poem regarding how insecure I can get.

Dreaming
Cheyenne Smith Jun 2021
10) Dreaming

Glancing at the dazzling stars on an enticing Tuesday evening
Looking up at the shimmering stars whilst dreaming
Dreaming of the person I will become
The obstacles I will eventually overcome
My heart is beating as fast as a drum
I aspire to inspire
Helping people to believe they are more precious than sapphire
Zero-knowledge of what lies ahead
My next chapter is still unread
Currently, it feels like you’re trapped in a trial
If you walk around with a smile
You’ll surpass that mile
The wait will be worthwhile

Rest in peace XXXTentacion
Cheyenne Smith Sep 2019
Sometimes people can **** up
People judge but they don’t know the close-up
X was murdered when he was barely a grown up.

He had many incredible dreams
To one day break it into the extremes
But now he’ll never live to relive the sun beams.

Unfortunately, he had to pay the biggest price
Losing him feels like my heart is solid ice
May X’s soul rest in paradise.
A poem after the death of my boyfriend’s favourite artist.

Believe 💫
Cheyenne Smith May 2020
Believe 💫

What if I listened to everyone?
What if I carried on being the black sheep?
Always felt like I was going to get shot by a gun
One day I overcame this crucial heap

I could have sat in the corner
Staying controlled by my disorder
I had the strength to go against
what I was perceived to not be capable of
No longer sitting on the fence

Even if I don’t reach the highest height
I still gave plenty of powerful fight
I could have listened to what people thought I’d be
Used my wisdom as a key to unlock all the  massive amounts of potential in me

Today I feel exceptionally proud because
What if I carried on living life in a grey cloud?

Becoming Free
Cheyenne Smith Aug 2019
Do you ever glance into the mirror and disapprove of what you see?
Despising your body, face, your bruises and your scars.
Have you regularly wanted to be something you can’t be?
Do you ever dream  of having a life of being accepted and free?

You should start by telling yourself you’re strong, loved, free and my scars won’t define me.

Realising who I was
Cheyenne Smith Sep 2019
I felt as though I needed to change to be accepted by others
My entire personality was trapped under covers
Constantly hiding my true colours

I never asked to be an outcast
I wished my feelings could be on a broadcast
To compare our massive contrast
And to overcome the past

The life I lived was little white lies
One day I soared through the magnificent skies
Showing no sense of demise
Until I became increasingly wise.

Sparkling Passion
Cheyenne Smith Sep 2021
We have had countless captivating moments
I can’t just think of one separate moment
Maybe the best time is yet to happen
For we are bound to experience a lot more passion
Our love is forever sparkling like electricity
Due to the incredible love you have for me.

Words cannot describe how much I love you
What I do know is that it’s more than the number of stars above you
Your name is engraved in my heart like a tattoo
The chemistry of two people stuck together like glue

Rose Tinted Shades
Cheyenne Smith Sep 2021
Some years ago I was constantly wearing Rose-tinted shades
I started hurting myself with words that cut deep like blades
At the same time as receiving poor grades
I was unaware and oblivious to what was going on

I used to treat life as though it was a movie and enjoy whilst eating popcorn
This was before the mental trauma and pain
The pain that locked me up in a tight chain
Giving me thoughts about whether I was sane
That misery was originally keeping me astray
The strain and torment created a perfect pathway
Impacting on the strong woman I have become today

— The End —
