The thought of you leaves a taste in my mouth so bitter when I dare to speak your name. Yet, sweet memories of time passed leave my confused heart aching to see you come running at my call. I wish I could hate you with all the strength I’ve been gaining to be free of… Read More

“The Weight” by Cortney Joseph
The thoughts weigh heavily, They invade my sense of peace, They take hold of me. They grow enraged and scold me, Loathe me for desiring to be free, And just a little happy. They weigh heavily.
“Admirer’ by Cortney Joseph
I was just thinking about you. Kinda wondering if I danced in one of your thoughts, or two. Or maybe if you dreamed of me on at night, possibly a few. Thinking on how these knots in my stomach would twist if you knew… That I’ve loved you for life, indeed… I do. Hoping that… Read More
“The Lonely Friend” by Cortney Joseph
I don’t feel… Seen. Heard. Loved. Cared for. Appreciated. I don’t feel thought of, Only called on when convenient. Only spoken of, and negatively, when I couldn’t give what was needed.
“Energy” by Cortney Joseph
What you put forth, That’s what I give back. Negative receives it in double, Positive gets it all in love.
“G.I.T.” by Cortney Joseph
You can go through your days, moping and hoping for your luck to change. Or you can get up and make it happen. Life is full of ups and downs, and it’s so easy to get lost when it seems you’re losing. You gotta grab it by the reigns, get it together, keep it moving.

“Choose Love” by Cortney Joseph
“In a world filled with hate, choose love. From love, happiness grows. and from deep within in, life blossoms and glows.”
“Attempt Ten” by Cortney Joseph
I swallowed a bottle full, Just to see if I would make it through. Just to see if I’d be born anew, Just to see if other’s tears would be many or few. I woke in the same hell of days before, Pain and strife leaving my heart torn, Still drowning in a sea… Read More
“Lonely Blues” by Cortney Joseph
I’ve grown so comfortable in my loneliness, I’ve come to expect feelings of sadness & nothing less. I’ve come to expect not a care from the world. Come to accept the life of an unloved girl. I’ve perfected smiles that are hardly true. I’ve settled in my life of lows and blues. _________ Follow http://instagram.com/writtenbycort… Read More
