Magic
is real
and you know it too
you've felt it already
but she hides
from everyone

Everything is so drenched on it
we do not realize
that magic is not outside
of this world
it is this world, so please don't stop
your fumbling around

Magic is your lover's kiss
when you're about to cry
magic is a roaring sea
suddenly getting all calm
Magic is someone covering your tracks
Magic is that silent tune filling suddenly these lungs
Magic is...every day's Sun

Magic is that sudden connection
you can guess but you can't explain
yet it is there
give in to its power, its subjective strength

you are the universe and
The universe does speak
but is it you or him you do hear?
It does not want to interfere
It says, "dare to be free"

Magic is that tiny star
that fills the whole sky
Everyone seeking her out
but she's been there all the time
There's magic in thee
if you just let it breathe

Got blackened with fear
while I tried hard
to focus on your kiss
but the thing is
you have to fly free,
life is an imperative,
and you must listen to it

healed in my sleep
with your love filled
healed by peace
I want to catch it,
once I did

I know - it's all my mind's scheme
but it will lead me somewhere
and I hope it's far away from here
far from yesterday's ****

The devil was you,
I used to think to myself it was true
but it was growing in me too
It took on my soul
And no matter how much I rioted
or acted up
I was hostage
of a sick world
In fact, I acted up because I knew I would lose
but I wouldn't have lost maybe
except for you
You aren't poisonous but you and I
like toxic waste react
And letting you take over me
is to lose again a created war

Sixteen
Not again, please

The signals are clear
I can see them, they are here
Steering wheel, take me far from this
My words collapse, and so do I
Life's a struggle - where you gotta have fun

Sixteen
I won't let you back in
Fear - get gone, *******
Caution - don't turn into fear
(Don't turn to anger, just let me be
Get convinced - get carried by the tune
you hear)
Courtney O Nov 2020
I was okay, I was alright
Until I dared to look into these eyes
Got ****** under, got dried
got lost, got tied
They bit and clawed onto mine
Slowly but suddenly - invaded
convinced, possessed
by that great unknown
I run away from
your mind
Courtney O Nov 2020
Bored - of all this ****
Please God free me
Give me what I need
I'm on my toes, you see?

I am tired of waiting
Of nervously pacing
around the house
around my head
I have marks in my wrists
still I break the chains

I am bored
I am ready to burn
in a free release
form
Let me break
Let me become

I am bored
but not ready
to give up

Angela and Lester
thought it was crazy, stupid, true love
spoiler: it was not

It was grabbing hold
of anything at hand
It was desperation
it was life stuck

In a parallel world
Lester isn't dead
and Angela is not under his embrace
not anymore, she's outgrown

Angela built a life with another man
And Lester and her still do chat,
they crafted something across time
it's not love, it's not lust
it's a weird connection that survives
we met when we were lonely souls
and now we're way less lost
