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
...

HOW SHOULD I FEEL OR HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE

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

I WASTE SO MUCH TIME HELPING OTHERS

THAT I FORGET ABOUT ME
...

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

WHY DO WE EXPECT?

THINGS TO OCCUR WHEN DESTINY WANT LET
...

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
...

To my standards there isn't any form
Torn
Clothing worn
Days in and out
...
