Courtney Steele Poems

INNOCENCE, INNOCENCE OH WHY DO I CRY? INNOCENCE, INNOCENCE WHERE IS THE TRUTH OVER THE LIE? INNOCENCE, INNOCENCE CAN THE GROUND KEEP ME DOWN? INNOCENCE OH INNOCENCE, WHO KEEPS PULLING YOU DOWN?

FAIL TO THE SYSTEM MY INNOCENCE WAS TAKING AWAY
I WISH FOR IT BACK EACH AND EVERY DAY
...

WHEN I HEAR THIS WORD I DON'T THINK OF JOY & PRIDE

I THINK OF FATAL DESTRUCTION THAT DESTROYS FROM THE INSIDE
...

CAN'T SLEEP MORE AFRAID I MIGHT FORGET THE PITCH OR YOUR VOICE

CANT SLEEP NO MORE WHEN I'M LEFT WITHOUT A CHOICE
...

TURNING MY CHEEK
CHANGING MY VIEW
CHANGING THE WAY I LOOK & FEEL WHEN I STARE AT YOU
FORGIVING THE LIARS
...

HOW SHOULD I FEEL OR HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE

WHEN I TRY TO REACT SOMETHING JUST TAKES OVER ME
...

Throughout my life I have known that I’m special
Living can’t breathe it’s too much pressure
It involves too many lectures
Offered as spoken words
...

THAT WAS SOMEBODY CHILD
THAT WAS SOMEBODY FRIEND
BEAUTY CONSIST OF QUALITY SO OF COURSE, IT NEVER ENDS
THINGS WE STILL HAVE THAT WE NO LONGER SEE
...

My love is involuntary impulse like living with Toureets

Each movement I don't take is moments of regret
...

I WASTE SO MUCH TIME HELPING OTHERS

THAT I FORGET ABOUT ME
...

.HAVING STRENGTH IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE BUT MAKING SOMEONE LOVE YOU IS
STRENGTH IS EXERTING EFFORT WHEN THERE IS NOTHING PRESENT TO GIVE
STRENGTH IS FINDING A WAY WHEN IT SEEMS NO WAY TO LIVE
STRENGTH IS UNDERSTANDING NO ONE IS PERFECT AND BEING ABLE TO FORGIVE
