Pain
Love is the thing we all long for
A thing that is always wanted
We push to make it happen
Try to be the perfect person
The one that someone will want
Giving anything and everything
Letting in any one who will come
Ahd why do we do it
When in the end the pain
Is the only thing left inside
Ripped open time and time again
Left torn, rugged, and expased
But still comeing back for more
Still looking to be saticfied
But what it cost for that one moment
Is more than should be taken
Just for a moment
Of that so called love
A love that only brings to you
A constant and reacuring pain
This pain that you call love

Soul
In the darkness
My sight is blocked
My vision impaired
I open my eyes
But cannot see
The world that is
Standing right before me
As black as night
Without it’s moon
The only sound to be herd
Is the pounding in my chest
The thing some call best
A heart for love above the rest
I only know it thus to be
The only thing prolonging me
As I close my eyes again
Thinking this may be the end
I take into me a breath
Of this thing know as life
And still alive I wander why
Blinking my hollow empty eye
I see this life all around me
But deep inside this soul
Things are hidden well within
Things unseen and unheard
All held within this life
With no sight
Not a sound

Tear
As a tear comes from my eye
As I sit and cry
I see my past going by
I see the world as a lie
I see no future for a mile
I see not a single smile
I see my name on a file
I see petals in the isle
Even when I sit and cry
I still see the world
Through my teary eye

Thorn
This body I am trapped inside
Is different than all others
A painful thorn on the stem
Of a rose with tender beauty
Draining out the fluid of life
Drops of blood raining down
A single prick shows my hurt
Withering away in silence
The hidden danger tucked away
A thorn of poison on a stem
Of a rose laying in the wind
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Torture
When I called out my voice
You never herd my cry
When I was in pain
You never gave me comfort
I asked you a question
An answer I never heard
I searched near and far
But you where no where to be found
I hoped for your presence
But you where never to be felt
You always let me down
Yet you are the only one I want
When will I let go
When will I give up
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Your Love
You’ve done everything for me
Everything I’ve asked for
You’ve given cheerfully
You’ve kept all my secrets
Your love was always there
Unconditional, unfailing, and unending
Every time I was lonely
You where there with open arms
Still yet, I can’t bring myself
To give you all I am
Why must I push myself away
Why must I stay away
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Round ‘n Round
As the world goes round and round
I have to wander who I am
As I walk threw this land
With my future in my hand
I look into the mirror
But do not know
Who’s looking back
As I wander aimlessly
In this land so grand
As I try to find myself
In my adolescents
As I search high and low
As I search near and far
I have to wander who I am

Caving In
Anger dwelling up inside
Getting ready to erupt
Trapped in this cave
Like an animal
Locked in a cage
Thoughts going threw my mind
Voices saying things of every kind
Everything’s so dark
Looking at the bars
Making up these walls
And in the darkness all I see
Is the flicker
Of the flame
Just waiting to erupt
With everything inside
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Ask why
Why am I not good enough
Why do you reject me
I try so hard to be accepted
I try to make you like me
I try to make you care
I try to be the child
That you remember me to be
I try to give you reason none
For you to be ashamed
I try to give you all the beauty
But I always have to ask
Why am I not good enough
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Do you
Do you love me
Do you care
Are you longing
For me there
Do you like to see
The face of me
When I’m with you
Are you glad
When I’m gone
Are you sad
Do you love me
Do you care
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Window
As I sit here and stare
Out of this window
This window of my soul
As I am trapped
In this prison
This prison of my soul
I cannot run
I cannot hide
I sit and see the world
The world so grand
But so apart of it’s land
How I long to be free
Free from this life
The life of me
By: Felicia Opal Teeter
Only Me
This life is taking its toll
On my hurting warn out soul
I spend my time wandering
All my days I’m dreaming
Thoughts bouncing to and fro
Getting away would be so heavenly
Having no responsibility
No one to obey
How I long for that day
The day I am the only one
