For someone so young and naive
Hard to know what to believe
Still I thought I tried for a while
Turning round and giving up is not my style
On my own, On my own way
The 4 year-old brunette couldn't believe it. Her parents were fighting. They never fight, NEVER. It had to be because of her, she got a 79% on her mathmatics test on figures. Her lowest grade ever. She quickly and quietly went in the kitchen, grabbed the peanut butter and jelly then ran to the treehouse. There was her 12 year-old brother looking out the window.
"You wanted a quiet place to be too, huh?" Camden Monroe asked his sister.
"Rhat do you mean?" Courtney Monroe said with her speech problem.
"I can't stand when momma and daddy fight either."
"I'm gonna stay up here until mommy and daddy app...li...gize to each others!"
"Thought so... I brought a case of water if you were, just in case!" Camden said to his worry- eyed sibling.
"I ron't give up on it eithers!"
She got through her own way.
Bottled up is where my fears go, my fears go
I will never show my fear
They'll tear me up until my tears show, my tear show
Smoke and mirrors
7 year-old Courtney vowed never to show fear, no matter what she would never show her fears. Anyone could throw green jelly, have big dogs (Pit bulls, Huskeys, etc) come after her, be in a clown filled room or even be abanden she would never show her fear. They could even take everything from her until she cryed but she would never show her fear.
You must try hard, don't give in
Keep it up and you win
Don't let them know they get to you
Put on a brave face and you'll get through
On your own, on your own way
12 year-olds and still trying, trying to get though life. Young Courtney knew if she tried hard and never give in she wouldn't be successful in life. She wouldn't let bullies know they upset her when they call here a prissy, stuck up little brat or Miss Smartypants. All she did was put on a mask and after a while the bullies saw that she didn't care so they stopped. She got through on her own.
Bottled up is where your fears go, your fears go
You will never show your fear
They'll tear you down until your tear show, your tears show
Smoke and mirrors
Courtney, 14 years-old, as at her best friend's house. She had known Ashley since they were 8. They shared the same birthday, so when they both booked the same pool for the same time period they became best friends.
"Courtney, darling, would you like some jello?" Maria, Ashley's mother, asked.
"May I ask what kind?"
"Dear, you know you don't have to ask. Green Apple, green jello,"
"Oh, uh, no thank you,"
18 year-old Courtney was going to spend the night over at her bff's house, Ashley. The Silver's house phone rang, Maria answered it.
"Maria Silver, How may I help you?" The girls hear a feminie voice, it sound as if she had been crying. "Oh ok, I'll tell her. I'll bring home if you want me to." The female voice once more. "Ok, Bye and God bless."
"Ms. Maria what was that about?" Courtney asked.
"Sweetie, do you know who your Aunt Skyler is?"
"Yes ma'am, why?"
"She... She died this morning. She got very, very sick yesterday. I'm sorry, Courtney. God Bless!" Maria had stated. Courtney was in tears. Skyler was her only aunt and her favorite.
This journey of ours never ends
We will always pretend
Fighting not letting them win
And they're falling into out illusion
On our own, our own way

She was always fight life to win and she fell into in the illusion of a perfect life. But now she found out she doesn't have to havea perfect life, just a happy one. She found it out on her own.
Bottled up is where our fears go, our fears go
We will never show your fear
They'll tear us down until our tear show, our tears show
