Disclaimer: I own nothing.

You are now reading the first of a collection of one-shots and poems dedicated to Terra. It doesn't matter if you like her or hate her, both opinions will be honored here. This is just my way of remembering the most controversial character ever to come onto Teen Titans, besides maybe Slade.

This first thing here is a rather angsty poem from Beast Boy's point of view. I hope you enjoy this and the rest of the pieces that will end up here.

Why do I feel the way I do?

Empty as a shell?

I gave you all I had in life

You gave me only hell

I sit here locked inside my room

And locked inside my head

Everything is spinning faster

All the things that end up dead

Screaming out my lungs

But no one ever hears

I sit here trapped inside myself

Bound by all my fears

Why can't you just hear me?

How much clearer must this be?

How long will it take to let me in

And just let me be free?

Trapped alone here in my room

Ripping off my head

Encased by all this silence

That rots inside instead

My screams make no impression

On your cold and lifeless face

Can't you see that I'm afraid?

Get me out of this choking space

Broken down, torn up inside

As these wounds begin to pour

I feel so alone, I feel so lost

I don't want to feel anymore

Tie me up, beat me down

Send me screaming to the ground

Anything to make me sure

That I'm still alive

So beaten up, so raw inside

You see all the things that I hide

Am I just emotionless to you?

This is my pain showing through

I'm left here crying where I fall

And you leave me empty like a rag doll

Cries break the dawn of an endless night

Through the darkness and lies with a crimson light

Alone and afraid I wait for the end

Where is my salvation

Where is a friend?
