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
Teressia Sep 2014
It's been awhile since then
I don't know how
But each day gets better
I eagerly wait for tomorrow
Only if I could berry yesterday
Live today and say good morning to tomorrow
Laughter can never be wait on
Smiles should never be counted
If we already know the possible outcomes,
Let's never take risks
As my friend once said
Never walk into a fire with your eyes open
Unless if you are a fire yourself
I don't care how many I lose
As long as I have one dearly true one
I just hope we never see each others tears
Just one hello, and here we are
It's not worth it to walk into a pit
When you know, there's one ahead
Just country songs,  may be fire works,
I don't know myself this might not be for forever
But I am graciously glad for the time
I hope we hold on to each other, as long as we breath life
I don't know why and no reasons
But this is the only way I can go with friends
Am a bit scared each day
But am hanging in there, coz I know your names
So yea, this is all
Teressia Aug 2014
Yet its a big world
What choice do I have?
Or do I?
Where do I go?
It's big enough,
That am lost everyday
Yesterday is gone
Today is here
Tomorrow is coming
Hold on or let go
It's upto to me and you
Just a little further each day
Who said I can't, or you can't
When days are longer,
Wait for me
When days are shorter,
Keep up with me
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.
Teressia May 2015
i want to make it possible
but everything just seems too impossible
somebody help me fight
the journey is taking too long
it's getting me weaker and weaker
somebody make me believe again
that i can break down walls
if only i could stop the world
if only i could reset time
the tears are quite bitter, how long
there's so much beauty, but i can't seem to have it
all the books/poems/stories i could have written if not...
all the friends i could have made if not...
all the hugs i could have given if not...
all the kisses i could have given if not...
i don't understand every single f*ing day
the numbness has stopped me
somebody explain things to me
when did i ever give my permission
i crushed yesterday and will be today and tomorrow too...
i don't know the difference between the days
no-matter how far i run away
the distance don't do any justice, pain still finds it's way
fighting demons both in the daylight and at dark
somebody tell me where hope is
am hopping someday i will find excitement
in tomorrow or breathing air
the impossibilities just tell me i shouldn't try
even if there had be motive of trying
i wouldn't know how...
can i make it through the nights, somebody promise
somebody help me fight in the battle field.
Teressia Feb 2017
we both have something in the care of our hands
but we will never share,
because somebody is a little too selfish,
It's either you or i,
and am not close to sure who?
if only that river kiss becomes nothing in that dream
and becomes something in this reality we are so fearful off
somebody got to be responsible for breaking this wall,
that we both had part in building,
I don't know about you, but i want it down
I'm grateful for the sunshine,
but i am waiting to enjoy it with you
the flowers are still blooming in my heart,
and I'm not ready to let them wither,
but when time decides later, they will wither on their own
Its been too long and nothing seemed to change,
just more sleepless nights and more day time fantasies,
midnight and daytime fantasies that are too good for reality
I'm curious to how far you've hold up,
because years have gone by here and again,
And this is how far I've come...
I've fallen a little deeper, a little too much everyday
In my memory only stayed smiles and sweet laughters of love,
that we rejected to acknowledge
I still wonder why we put up the walls?
be it that we have the same stories that we never shared?
I think felled a little more, a little too much for love that never arrived
I'm afraid to let go of my butterflies,
because i'm afraid i might never get the same kinds from anyone
I'm keeping my garden flowerful, colorful and bloomy for a love that might never arrive!
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
Teressia Sep 2017
months after months
years after years, and it never faded
love! you can't command it
to go or to stay
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.
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.
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.
Teressia Jul 2014
Some times to win life over
You just have to don't care.
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
Teressia Jan 2015
if only we could stop the fears
and start doing what we were call to do
start living life as it is
doing the things we can
do best and start
sharing the love Jesus left for us
start living our dreams
without having not to please no one
but ourselves
share our stories and listen
to our neighbors stories
having not to always drink
from the tap
but also from the riverbank
allowing ourselves to laugh
every night when go to bed
and every morning when we wake up
the world belongs to all of us
so lets call it our universe
always live with peace
even without law enforcement
always forgive even though
not forgiven yet
share our gifts without judgments
learn to use our talents
for the right reasons and purpose
stop social networking via internet
and start social networking via reality
stop cheating our way through life
and start living our values and beliefs
stop hiding behind the curtain of fears
and be the first to scream out for change.
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.
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.
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!!
Teressia Mar 2015
how long should i dearly hold you in my heart
tell me, how long should i keep you a secret in my heart
there's this thing i have for you
tell me, tell me, how long, how long.
i can't remember exactly when this started
neither do i know how long it's gona continue
i have lost track of time now, that's how long it's been.
how long are you going to keep me a dreamer
it was interesting for awhile, but now it's just.......
i don't have a word for it.
just forever waiting for a never rising sun.
i guess this must be the love i heard of while i was still innocent
my imaginations weren't enough,
that you began to be my daily guest in my wonderful dreams.
how many times are you planning to let me fall
my heart only race for you, it had never gave up.
i wake up to find courage everyday,
to look for where your heart lies.
even when i don't want to, my heart keep a place for you.
there's this thing i have for you.
tell me, tell me, how long, how long.
can you help me find a way?
can we find a way together?
if this fate slips by, i wonder if you will know,
that my heart once belonged to you.
i see many stars in the sky,
but i can still easily spot which one is you.
how long are you planning to keep me a dreamer?
yes, yes i appreciate your presents,
but it's just the gap between that bothers me.
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.
Teressia Sep 2014
Life can not be all happy
Life can not be all sad
Have hope and strongly
Carry on each day with faith
Teressia Aug 2014
i am a girl who pull doors
when it clearly says pull
i am a girl who make noise
when i've been scolded over and over
but you may not know
what's hidden inside
because when you ask
i'd say............

                                                                                  by; May
this is not originally my work, my old friend wrote it in my poetry book and she didn't finish off what was in her mind and am still curious till today what she wanted to say...i'd ask her to finish the whole thing but i moved. i titled it for her.
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
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
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.
Teressia Jan 2015
some times i convince myself that my dreams about you are fading but the deadly truth shows up the following morning. i can some times wake up in the middle of the nights just to spare you some thoughts in my mind and some space in my heart, but when morning comes again i force myself to live in a denial just so i could get through the delight when my eyes are open. my nights were my only hope to escape, but then occasionally you started to flood my mind. i have learned to convince myself that i cold not be the only one this wide wild world, so i try to stay strong. i have fallen again and again for you and it hurts you have never considered catching me once. like you have started a story for me but you don't want to be part of the story.
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 Aug 2014
there are many stars, but the moon
is one
there are many friends, but the best
is one
to forget me, it's up to you
to forget you, i will never do


                                                                                  by; Estahil
again this is not my work, my best friend wrote it in my poetry book back in the days b4 i moved. i felt so special.  i dearly miss her and my other friends out there whom i left behind.
Teressia Dec 2014
in this world we are given all kind of different reasons to live up to
we are taught many different things, facts, lesson to the point where we don't know which, or what to learn and believe
we are judged at an early age
that we learn and begin to judge too soon too early
when no one worries about us
we start to worry too much about ourselves instead of others
after out repetitive mistakes and failures
we start to question our knowledge, experiences, learning and wisdom
when life starts to become too difficult to live each day after another
we start to learn that life is a big one puzzle that can't be solved in aday
every day becomes a new day to learn and
we start notice our daily life lessons that go by everyday
some times our lessons repeat themselves over and over
until we catch a glimpse of them.
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
Teressia Jun 2014
even though i felled in-love
life didn't care and stills goes on
even though my heart got broken
life didn't care and stills goes on
life vs love
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.
Teressia Jun 2014
i swear am sorry for falling in-love with you
i didn't intend to.
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
Teressia Jan 2015
It takes more than just you-tube inspirational videos to start living sincerely
and more than just motivational quotes to start practicing our good thoughts
more than just good friends to start being one
more than just don'ts and dos from parents  to really start understating and learning
more than just our failures  and mistakes to start making the right choices
commitments, courage, faith, hope, willingness, wisdom, ambitions, goals, love.....is something that we have to cultivate on our own
giving up is decision only made when we don't have courage or when we lose hope
emptiness is a feeling only comes when we don't have faith or belief of our own
failure only conquers when we stop trying
fears only take over when we let them take over our deep thoughts
loneliness only takes over when we allow ourselves to become the enemy of our enemies
ambitions only come when we dare to dream no-matter the age
success only happens when we act and commit till the end.
learn to understand yourself. be true to yourself.
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.
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.
Teressia Aug 2014
my secrets are not just secrets
my secrets are mysteries
my mysteries are not just mysteries
my mysteries are adventurers
my adventures are not just adventures
my adventures are magicals
Teressia Oct 2014
some day i will be the one to say no
i don't care if i was ever somebody to you
all i know is am somebody to myself
i will be somebody to somebody some days when time comes
i will never regret letting you be
i may have said something that drives you crazy every night
and i will never be sorry for that
admit one way or another
i still make you smile somehow
i don't like you, but i don't hate you
you claim to be hurt, sorry that wasn't my intention
i don't know if this is a poem or lyrics
but either way let it be, just one way to deliver a message
i don't resent you, but rather i pity you
i hope you don't resent me too in any way
you reminded me of the principle that,
not everyone in life will like you
or fall in-love with you
or be your friend
or be your enemy
Teressia Jul 2014
just a garden of flowers
fresh cool air of new spring
Nature is hard to describe
but the feeling is easy and natural to take in
the blooming of flowers
the sound of bees
the scent of flowers
the smell of grass
the presents of trees
the flow of water in the river
beauty inside beauty is what i call it
you walk down the sidewalk
the clean wind blow into your hair
i get happy over all these
i dont know about you
happy to feel the presents of nature
that's why we should mind
how we live to no harm our nature
i appreciate the enthusiasm that
the birds add to the nature
if i could understand the language of birds
i could sing along with them.
Teressia Sep 2015
my nightmares are never gone
i cry until my eyes dry out
in the dim light i stand alone
my hands are clipped together by cold
my teeth are rattling with fear
Teressia Oct 2014
Oh To Be A Child Again...

Oh to be a child again

Oh to dance with glee

Oh to have no worries

And live a life carefree

To see fun in the shadows

A rainbow in the rain

A light amongst the darkness

And not to feel the pain.

To live with total innocence

And not know how to lie

To love with all your being

Until your time to die

To smile at every person

Whether rich or poor

To play out in the open

And not to close the door

To speak without the fear

Of saying something wrong

To sing without the worry

Of not knowing the song.

To live life to the fullest

To give each day its best

No worry of the future

Or failing in life’s test

See wonder in the smallest being

Beauty in a tree

Oh to be a child again

And live a life carefree.

Teressia Jul 2014
one
one smile begins a friendship
one vote can change a nation
one candle can burn out darkness
one flower can wake the dream
one tree can start a forest
one heart can know what's true
one voice can speak with wisdom
touched by an E-mail-class of 2000
Teressia Nov 2014
i thought i will be ok
but only for a while was i
but now am clearly not
every time i draw out you smile
it made me realize i would never
draw out anyone's smile perfectly as yours
i go to bed every night avoiding
the deadly truth of me being in-love with you
it's so heart breaking to know
that there's something so call one-side love
it makes no sense that one person
has to hold those feelings that bangs
around inside a soul because there's no place for them
it's so painful to carry those feelings as long as they stay
one side love......where a person wants
to give away those feelings for free
yet no one wants to accept them
i always find something to like about you even in your walk
is it true you never even for once thought of me
even i try to move on over and over
but yet you are still the most handsome of all
you are the reason why i listen to love songs all night
i find beauty in your eyes, your voice
just like when a person is in love
i find no flaws in you at all
i still find it hard to believe
that the so called one-side love really exist
do you by any chance love me secretly?
do you by any chance have a secret picture of me?
only if you could put my flaws behind
we could have been the love birds now.
Teressia Dec 2014
oh no this is love poem
oh no this too private
oh no this depressing
oh no this is my enemy's
oh no this is too judgmental
oh no this is embarrassing
oh no this does not make sense
oh no this is about my break
i don't know which one
i have lots of them
i just don't know which one to show you
may be if you wait till tomorrow
then i might have something by then for you.
stumbling btw which poem to post.
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 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.
Teressia Sep 2014
The cold never bothered me anyways
So little did I know
All my downs
All my ups
I promise
To never
Involve
You
Some times it hurts to be given a hint but understood it after things are done.
Teressia Aug 2014
I gat to find away to say am busy
Everyday is just another day to say good morning
Another day to smile
Another day to laugh
Another day to live
Rise with the sun
Shine with the stars
Sing with the birds
Grow with the trees
Time is indeed not enough
Above all the names
Your name is the only magic
As I am looking out the window,
I don't know how far the future is
But what I do know is,
Am in the present,  and I have it all
Some times time flies
Some times time stops
But either way,
It's worth experiencing life in every direction
Knowledge,  intelligence,  kindness, wiseness,  struggles, happiness,  hardship
And other facts you name
If we don't let ourselves experience
We won't know where to step in life
A hundred years from naw
May be these words  will turn around one person's life
That's why we should always share our knowledge even without knowledge

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

who cares what yesterday has done,
care that today has come
to offer you a new beginning.
