Tessa Hanson Poems

You and Karina are never far from my heart, I hold you near even if we are apart.
I give a kiss to both you and Karina before you rest your head, and I kiss you both again right before I go to bed.
I say good morning to you and Karina as soon as I open my eyes, I hold you and Karina when either one of you cries.
I kiss your tears and wipe them off your cheek; I don’t need to hear your voice in order to hear your heart speak.

What to do, what to do, what do I do with my life and what do I do with you. You can’t be righteous, you can’t tell the truth, tell me what am I supposed to do?
Should I tell you were through, when I’m sitting here 8 months pregnant by you? Tell me what I’m supposed to do.
Tell me how to do it and when I should, tell me if you were I then you would, leave your butt because you’re really no good.
Tell me what to do with your lies I keep, tell me how I can get a good nights sleep, tell me that you are worth counting all these sheep; Tell me you won’t be the reason that I get weak, tell me that I won’t give in to defeat.
...

A lie and the truth are one in the same, both are necessary allow me to explain.
Some say the truth will set you free, but that “some” is no part of me.
My truth in your eyes is blasphemy, the truth being that I even lie to me.
Mistakes are errors left uncorrected, also known as opportunities neglected.
...

Underneath a blanket of stars, somewhere between the earth and Mars,
There are no streetlights and no cars, closets without doors and prisons without bars.
Its there where I wrap myself around someone else, someone more like my type of role model
Its there where I seem to fall beyond help its there where I seem to go full throttle.
...

I am an exception to the rule
Not to be confused with a fool
See self-denial is the ultimate tool
When error & trial become graduate school.
