Courtney Steele - GROWING

FOR THIS WORLD I WOULDN'T SACRIFICE MY SOUL.

NOT FOR ONE OR EVEN AS A WHOLE.

I LOVED ONCE & WAS LEFT IN THE COLD.

I CONFIDED IN BEAUTY & SHE SAID WHOM FLAWS ARE THOSE?

DEEPLY ROAMING NO ANSWER NOR REPLY.

I CAN'T COMPREHEND LOVE YET TO BE DISCOVERED IS I!

IDENTITY HOW IS THAT DEFINED?

I HAVE BEEN LIVING MANY YEARS & DAYS HOWEVER THOSE DECISIONS WERE NOT MINE.

I CAN NOT APPEASE THE WORLD ESPECIALLY, NOT ONE AT A TIME.

MANY SAY I DON'T LOVE BUT I DO IN SPIRIT.

THE HEART BECOMES WEAK ONCE THE SOUL HEARS IT.

LOVE IS THIN IT LIES ON A FRAGILE LINE.

I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD YOU COULD NEVER GET FAR LOOKING BEHIND!
