Theresa Peters Poems

My mind is crowded
My visions are obscured
I've lost sight of my goals
I'm at a place that no one knows
...

An empty heart
That's beatless
Dead, broken
Shattered pieces
...

Everyone killing each other
We all want to get to the top
No matter what
Like crabs we pull each other
...

Sweet, luscious, soft
Moist,
Incomparable, lovely
There is none other
...

Is there a reason for my
existence
Or am I just putting up a
resistance?
...

The excruciating pain rips my
heart out
I am screaming out loud
Yet there is no sound
...

I wish you will see
For the New Year
I wish that you will open up to me
For the New Year
...

The knee to my windpipe
Pressing down tight
I can't breathe
Gasping for air
...

When did we get here?
As a society
Have we lost our humanity?
The very essence of our individuality
...
