"Life, Man..."
Teresa Smith Nov 2013
It never looks the way you expected,
but it's a sight to see all the same.
You never end up where you planned to go,
but in the end you're glad you came.

No Matter
Teresa Smith Feb 2014
If given the chance to explain myself
I wouldn't know which words to use
If you'd actually stop and listen
No matter what I'd lose

If we ever find the time
I know I'd want even more
Another hour, maybe just a minute
If only to put off you're breaking down and out the door

If no one's opinion mattered
And our love was all we knew
I'd still never make it to your side
Asleep on your lawn come morn, skin damp with dew

I never sleep
Teresa Smith Nov 2013
I'm the kind of girl
who picks flowers just to
tear them apart.
And I will spend more time trying
to dodge responsibility than it would
actually take to do the **** thing at all.

I know you may find that endearing
or charming even,
but you can't possibly
prepare for all the damage
I will do.

I'm the kind of girl who looks
younger than I could possibly be,
and so you may want to get closer,
crack open my skin, just to count
the age rings on my soul.

Do you want to know what
it's like to be made
to feel special?
As if someone who could pick
anyone at all loves you
the best?
