Autobiography

Courtney Stewart grew up in a couple of smaller towns until she finally settled down in Springfield, Missouri. She had always loved going to movies with friends, spending hours just sitting in her room and drawing up a new idea, playing tennis on occasion and listening to her friends stories; trying to help them through the hard times. Although she enjoyed spending time with friends, it was moments spent in a warm bed, reading next to a lamp with incense next to her that Courtney loved the most. Her favorite authors include: Julie Anne Peters, Ellen Hopkins, and Stephanie Meyers. Overall, Courtney prefers any book aside from the sci-fi category. She is still in high school, at a junior level but plans to graduate next year with a set mind towards college not long after. She might not be very close to her family, but her twin sister means the world to her. She used to spend most of her time wrapped in tennis events, but now she finds herself locked away in her room, drawing, singing and being herself, or spending time with her friends. Her future is set towards college and being the best she can be for herself and her loved ones.

~Have you ever wished for an endless night?
dream of liars
It's me, I'm a freak
Sleep with one eye open
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself why?
Will it ever get better than tonight?
The hourglass on the table
I wouldn't even try
enter night
There you are sitting in the garden
told ya from the start.
But I think you could save my life~
