just a dream
Teressia Jul 2014
just like am dreaming
i found myself being swallowed by darkness
i put my lamp out
and i tried hard to squeeze my eyes
i can't fall asleep, my bed is made with mud
i can't fall asleep, my mattress is full of dust
i can't fall asleep, mosquitoes are biting me
finally i slowly drift off to sleep
next morning i wake up struggling to breath
as a young girl i had dreams
my ambitions were unreachable in the bare ground of no hopes
i had no home, or a place to call home, or a place to belong.
what the future holds for me became a mystery
i woke up everyday with my dreams in my heart
i only lived to get through each day
in the bare land of no hopes
yet my spirit as young girl did not die
i might have no hope but i had courage to stay strong and high up like air.
Teressia Jul 2014
oh! my good Mighty tell me
why is this happening again?
tell me am i suppose to take it
or run away from it?
it brought me to tears once
help me sing a song of yes or no
sing along with me today
i want to see the sunrise not the sunset
i broke my wings once and,
with a star guiding me
nothing will be broken again.

rain and tears are similar
Teressia Jul 2014
tears like rain drops
has the rain stop?
hoping my tears would stop too
i slowly reach for my face
there i still feel my tears
but the rain has stopped
am not very good at titling my works. forgive that.

I want to hate you,
But my heart says no,
Coz you gave me So much to hold on to
Which keeps me to love you.

The past is meant to be undone
The future is meant to be build on
Let go of the past that can't be undone
Join the present to build on the future

i didn't know what was going on
until i let my hands off everything
and miraculously everything falled into pieces
every piece falled where it belongs
i didn't use any tricks or strategies
i have never been so sure
my proves came looking for me
the truth will always remain the truth
whether known or unknown.
better watch carefully who walks into your life with free hands or handcuffed hands.

ACCEPT LIFE AS IT IS
Teressia Jul 2014
everyday after the day has ended
it hits me hard,
will tomorrow come?
today is gone! and my plans are gone unfinished
i questioned myself in my mind,
did i really give up or,
am i letting the impossible be impossible
the little innocent girl i use to know
suddenly disappeared and the world grew bigger
her poems shift from glittering to shadowy
how many promises she broke
to be or not to be, that's the question
when the darkness swallows the world
that's when my thoughts start to make sense
the world just starts to tilt
for what reason, i don't know
fire starts to spread randomly
from what cause, i don't know
when someone look into my eyes
i just smile in a lovely way
and anyone would be assured am perfectly fine
my laughter seems so real, full of passion,
and love, but so little do they know the shadow behind it
i wouldn't say am giving up on life
may be am lost or confused
i never imagined to be where i am today
so much has happened along life journey
some shouldn't have never be in the first place
so much tears have been shed
and yes of course there had been laughters
i just want to be drawn away
into my world, a world that only belongs to me
i hope it doesn't sound selfish
because it shouldn't and it's not
if you can pass through the wall
lets all live this life despite the circumstances.
as a writer i dont always write about myself i also picture myself in a condition of someone else and tell a story from their point of view

Canada Day
Teressia Jul 2014
a great country with greater ambitions for all
i don't know where i would be if not here
a country worth fighting for
because we all wake up with smiles on our faces
we share every bit we have among us
even though our winters try to cover the rising of the sun
our sun never hesitated to rise
i have no words to express the greatness of this nation
because it's too great to find the exact words
our winters are the coldest
but somehow we always find a way to keep ourselves warm
if holding the door for you, we do it real good
if saying hello, we will be the first you hear it from
we might not be famous in the world of acting or singing
but we are famous and known for being polite
which is a million times worthy
i don't want to sound like bragging
but really this nation has stolen my heart
in a way a boy has never done before
i was not born here, nor am i a native of this ground
i have wondered looking for love and peace
and only here in this nation did i find my heart
i will not be ashamed to hold the flag of this nation
i will not be ashamed to sing the anthem of this nation
the growing of a tree tells a story in this nation
from east to west we rise every day with greater determination
the fireworks of this significant day will end today
but they will keep firing in our hearts for this nation
the smell of the grass of this nation washes away pain,
and when you step on the grass of this nation it brushes you with care
on a rainy days the sky drop low that it gives you a feeling,
and provokes you to believe you can climb
and reach the skies along with a friend.
on a sunny days, the sun gets bright that it makes you
want to talk to any stranger on the sidewalk.
I am inlove with this nation.
i came from a very far land, but this land has become my only home.
i don't care who says i don't belong because my heart say i belong

quote
Teressia Jul 2014
there's one thing i do
for guys who try and mess with my soul
i push them into a pit of love
that they can never get out of
like a spell for a lesson
Teressia Jun 2014
i know there's no other girl
who will fulfill my qualities for you
or afford my smile for you.
that's why you shouldn't have
close your eyes towards me.

Hello poetry
Teressia Jun 2014
hello poetry
hello poetry became my facebook
i use to wake everyday to check my facebook's new status
but since i found hello poetry
i wake up to check hello poetry new poems
hello poetry, where i meet people,
with the same passion as me, writing.
hello petry, is where i take all my happiness,
all my sadness, and all my creativity.
when i don't have enthusiasm to study for my exam,
i go to hello poetry and somehow i get pumped
when i fell in love, i go to hello poetry
when my heart is broken, i go to hello poetry
when i had a beautiful day, i go to hello poetry
when i had a bad day, i go to hello poetry
the world is a place full of happiness,
sorrow, obstacles and hardships,
i have learned to live and survived it
because i take it out on my writing.
we all have something to be proud off.
i always write anything, it doesn't have to always be a poem, but anything.

i am a slave of words, i am a slave of pen
i am a slave of books, my heart was stolen  by the words of my thoughts
and stored in my books and used by the pen which i wake up everyday to find that is using my words and hiding them in my books.
really am fascinated how i come up with my own words just like this.

I learned that sometimes it's worthy to let it all out, because if it were something that was eating you, it will stop eating you if you let it out.

my name is pamela
i was once lost in the woods
as i walking hand in hand with my friend
i  loose my hand for a second
a unique tree catches my attention
i stopped, stand facing the tree and pause to admire it
not until i realized my friend has carried on
am alone, i turned in circles looking around for my friend
but there is no sight of my friend.
i remained standing in confusion
not knowing which way to go
am lost in the woods.
am not sure if this is a poem or not, i was just inspired to write something.

Is This Forbidden Love?
Teressia Jun 2014
just a hug from you
do you know you are drowning in my mind
let me see your smile forever at least if i can't be with you
i wonder what's the barrier between us
did i set that wall between us or did you?
one of us must be responsible
but lets take down the wall together
or maybe i should just take the risk  alone
you got my mind worked up everyday
even on the days i don't have exams
lets let the love flow between us
i know now that i truly love you
the day you enter my heart you never left
who is being prideful?
am not sure.

let's not say goodbye
Teressia Jun 2014
The days are flying
I can't believe this is happening
We are going to say goodbye today
I wonder if I will ever see you again
Can I at least get a hug to remember
I wonder how I will keep going
Without seeing your smile
Without hearing your laughter
My days ahead are doomed

It's exhausting
Thinking of that one person day and night
it's more exhausting trying to figure out if they are also thinking of you.
It's wonderful the thought of them gives you a smile
but it's depressing when you can't own their smile.

When you deeply fall in love as time goes
You try to shut your eyes , but your heart stills remains open
Am drowned in the fantasy of love
but I can't have the reality of love .
let my heart fall asleep if I can't have this love.
Falling in love and can't get over the feelings

fall out of love
Teressia Jun 2014
i ****** made it without you
despite the damage you caused
can you hear my voice
it's clear and loud
can you hear my laughter
can you see my beautiful smile
can you see my steps from yesterday's
believe me, am capable of more than you know
just watch me walk away
because of you i conquered something
because of you i learned to endured
falling out of love.

Free Soul
Teressia Jun 2014
am so independent
who comes across my way
i put the world behind me
i live a single life
i decided long ago
my tears are for happiness
my talk is for laughter
my heart is for loving
my hands are for reaching out
my legs are for leading
my personality is to inspire
i will use my days to search for joy
i will use my breath to give love
in myself i found love
in the world i own nothing
in myself i own so much
whoever comes my way gets joy
to the world am a criminal
to myself am innocent
there's so much in this world
but to be who you are,
or to be happy
you have to hide everything behind
live life as nothing is wrong
live life as nothing to worry about
live life as nothing is going on
trying to live life to the fullest. finding joy in ones self and others.

i know you now
Teressia Jun 2014
as i get closer to you, i understand you more
you make me smile a bit more everyday
you start to learn the song of my heart
as i learn the song of your heart
our laughter today is louder than yesterday's
our distance is closer than yesterday's
today we spend more time than yesterday's
life become beautiful everyday because of your presents
it takes forever or life time to find a friend like you
but it took me better than a minute to find you
i wonder if our friendship is valuable to you as it is to me

in fear.
Teressia Jun 2014
am afraid to be your friend
because you might say goodbye tomorrow
am afraid to fall in love
because my heart might be broken by you
am afraid to tell you my secret
because you might tell it to the world
am afraid to walk in you shadow
because it might just disappear
am afraid to lean on you
because you might decide to just let me fall

Dare me again.
Teressia Jun 2014
no matter how much you ground me
i will never stay grounded by you
i have my own wings
i have my sister's wings
i have my mother's wings
i have my father's wings
you may have destroyed my wings
but am offered new ones to fight you harder.

give back the love
Teressia Jun 2014
it's a new day
and am writing a love song again
just because of you
my pages are full of you
i wonder where i will write tomorrow?

it never felt this right
just turn around
and look into my eyes with consideration
and tell me what you see!
i will tell you what you see...
love trap in my eyes for you!!

unnoticed love
Teressia Jun 2014
yes am in-love with you
you smile gives me butterflies
your gaze is so stunning
your laughter is so full of love
just thinking of you make me smile
i will write every-single day,
how in-love i am with you
i hope you will get a chance one day,
to read this beautiful lines about you.
you make me want to listen,
to love songs day and night
it's so heart breaking to see you,
walk away from me everyday.
just loving someone who can't notice how much he is being loved

my crush.
Teressia Jun 2014
my smiles to you means i like you
my laughter to you means i need you.
my jokes to you means i will accept you
my conversations with you, means you might have a chance with me.
i will stop running away if you do.
i will take step closer if you do
i will talk to you if you do.

my passion calls
Teressia Jun 2014
i just want to sing
sing and sing
sing my words out loud
my heart is beating
beating for passion
passion that overtook me
passion that controls my mind
i just want to write
write and write
because it's where my passion dwells
i wake up with a new story to write
each day with a new poem
my imagination grows each day
i shine in my little world
a world where a few shine
this passion will forever stay young.

crying heart
Teressia Jun 2014
breathing in the dust
i wonder how much longer i have to be here.
in the dim light i try to read,
i drift off to sleep and so do my lamp
i woke up the next morning and,
again i breath in the dust.
each day is harder to live,
today becomes worst than yesterday's
i just hold in my tears, to give another person hope,
that tomorrow is on the way.
starvation for food, starvation for knowledge,
none is greater than the other.
i woke up to wear the same outfit as yesterday's
the freedom of being happy was robbed from me,
by something i don't know or understand.

— The End —
