I stepped out and took a role of a man for you
But that wasn't enough for you
I don't know what is
Whatever it is, I will never take it on
My line stopped here
That was how far I could go
I feel and have done enough, am not waiting on

You gave me a reason to hate you, but that reason did not work on me.

Sometimes into Forever
Teressia Feb 2017
I was once told, "it's ok to not be ok sometimes"
but what  if sometimes becomes forever?
because ever since, i have awoken up to not be ok
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.

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?
please tell me you know my name
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!!

Cowardly Lover
Teressia Jan 2017
you said hello to her once, the very first time you met her,
and then something got over you and you never made it to be her friend,
she then decided to try and be your friend instead of you trying,
but even then, she failed because you weren't willing, it seems,
and so something beautifully breathtaking fell apart without creation
because you decided to become a cowardly lover who fed on other people's idea of what love is and so your lover walked away with your beautiful flowers that lit up with face when she smiles
and so because you wanted to be the Cinderella, you lost the princess
but then again you couldn't realized because you fed yourself surmises
that convinced you to be divine over her,
at least she tried it all, till her last goodbye,
which you failed to show up for, it was then she knew not to turn back,
and so you ended the story that could have lasted a lifetime of double heartbeats, just because you allowed people to make you a cowardly lover that you weren't to begin with,
and so to your dust, you will always remember her last traces that she left behind for you, if any.

Words like dagger I got
Melt me if I don't care in winter mids
In the mids of summer beauty
You failed to Smile to the sun
Just being random

time of my life
Teressia Aug 2014
this is time of my life
let me laugh
let me cry
i can go, i can stay
i deserve to smile
so do you
so whaterver we do
lets not ever cross each other's paths
dont take achance
life have never been so amazing
i guess  we can't wait for happiness
we have to live it
let me run
oh let me run
i will say i love you
be it a million times
i may not like you
but i will never hate you
do i make sense to you
my randomness is part of me
that's why you should never mind me
i always appreciate tea with no sugar
coz someone somewhere
has no sugar nor the tea
at the end of the day
i was given life
my own voice is all i ca listen to
i have no reasons
i'd like to keep it that way
i followed my shadow
it wasn't so bad after all
i have been the happy one all along
how could i not know.

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

Engraved image and word
Teressia Feb 2017
I've never stopped wondering since that summer
the summer you implied i was less
less than you, less than an average person, less than everything
i put forth my foot with love
but you took a step back
i never will know why, but i have assumptions to why
could have been you saw my short comings
more than you saw the human in me
i always wonder how the heart recovers to love again
when its been once or twice or more shredded to pieces
summer is a season i no-longer wait upon
particularly June,
because it reminds me of the day love told me i was less
and so one year past
the send went by
the third went along,
and an image and a word remained engraved

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.

i did not finish my story yesterday
i tried to continue it today
but something suddenly came along
am afraid i might never have an ending
a story without an ending
is like a story that was never started
am the only one who knows how the story goes
i have never told it to anyone
there for there will be no one to tell it but me
it's a story i so want everyone to know
a story like never been told before.

What is life about?
pushing and pulling through doors all day long
but yet nothing comes out of them
struggling through the settings of the society
sometimes make it through a day
but not until another day comes in surprise
is it alone or lonely i don't understand
how is it that i can write whole page of a fiction story
but not a school due report paper?

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

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.

You asked me to plead for something
Something that no one should ever plead for
And something was shattered in that moment, by you
But I kept a posture like a mirror, to let you know I've done my share.
Teressia Feb 2017
love can be anything and everything
patients for waiting when it isn't time
betrayal if lied to
time if differences stand in the way
pain when not handled with all the care there is
wall is once betrayed
ego when walls aren't let down
dignity if handled with integrity
shame if not respected in the way it's supposed to be
living if everything flows in the right direction
friendship if fully accepted with everything that comes along
enemy if things head into opposite directions
selfish if selfishly withheld for the wrong reasons
forever if kept alive
inlove you will cry in pain that could rob you of breaths
inlove you will laugh a laughter that could be called forever

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.

Coz you gave me So much to hold on to
Which keeps me to love you.

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.
