My name is Teresa, I am originally from Hamilton Ont but I was raised in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. I have had an interesting life a lot of surprises and unfortunate experiences I guess that's what makes it easy for me to write. I use my poems as a kind of therapy, it seems to help. I haven’t been able to write about the happier times in life so you won’t ever see any about love, bubbles and pretty little flowers.
I’ve encountered what I believe to be
The most crucial point of my existence
Terrified too scared to move
Exhausting patience with my resistance
...
Pretty sure I’m losing my mind
Reality has been unkind
The ground is moving under my feet
I’m losing control; it’s hard to sleep
...
There are some things I would like to change
But what are they? It’s hard to say
The chain reaction, and domino effect
Would change the image, the mirror reflects?
...
It’s time baby boy
It’s time for you to leave
I can feel you linger here
I haven’t been able to grieve
...
My sense of self worth has been destroyed
My self esteem a hallow void
All the mirrors must be distorted
The refection I see is a little contorted
...
