Lisa Teres Fraser Poems

I am searching for the love I never had
A love which I deserve
And have been denied for too long
A father's love
...

We are so small in this world
But have the potential for greatness
We must take the gifts that are given
Nurture them so they may flourish
...

I should have known
It wasn't meant to be

I, the naive little girl
...

Trapped inside a foreign body
The images portrayed are not my own
But those of an inferior being
The force was overpowering
...

Two friends sat together
Thinking it was forever
Then one went away
And the other stayed
...

In my dreams you seem so clear
But when I wake you are not so near
The world feels empty during the day
Why can't you stay?
...

I tried not to submit
I tried to shelter myself from the pain
But you broke down my walls
I became the challenge
...

The voices inside my head are getting louder
Sometimes I scream just for the silence
The voices are feeding me doubts
My screams are now for fear
...

You were just another face
Another body
Whose heart wasn't mine.
...

To fight is a choice
A choice to remain ignorant
Is ignorance bliss?
Maybe for the child
...
