Cortni Basford Poem
You come over all the time
We talk about everything
And anything
I know I can come to you
With anything because you
Will always understand
We have a lot in common
Some people ask why do you
Even talk to her
She don’t care about you
At all
I tell them
They don’t know you like I do
And they never will
Because even though you’re not
Blood you are still my family
No matter what happens in
Twenty years or even two weeks
Down the road we will always be
Sisters for life
And I happy that I can look at you
And say I love you sis

Cortni Basford Poem
surrounded by walls
no where to go
walls are closing in
no more air flow
no one can hear you
like your never there
no one can help
no one is there
kicking and screaming
yelling for help
mom sits and watches
while dad grabs his belt
mom doesn't say anything
until dad leaves
she doesn't care
at least I didn't believe
this always happened
every single night
mom just sat and watched
without putting up a fight
going to school
with new bruises every day
teachers always asked
I blew their help away
knowing if I told
it would only get worse
begging on my knees
for him not to immerse
just laying there as time passed by
watching myself get beat
I just thought to myself
one day I'll be back on my feet
the time had finally come
many years after
I finally stood up for myself
it never happened thereafter

Cortni Basford Poem
Build up the courage
To get out of the car
walk with you head up
look them in the eye
show them your not scared
walk through the the doors
face your fears
don't fire back
at their comments
talk to your friends
don't rush to class
they can't hurt you
not anymore
your safe now
no more bullies
they can't find you
your bullies mean
nothing anymore
ingore them look straight ahead
like they are dead or never exsisted

Cortni Basford Poem
I heard the footsteps coming and I
knew this would be another long
night
And something inside me screamed
this time it really isn’t right
The words he was saying were
ruthless and cruel
And each time he hit me I sat there
and obeyed each and every rule
I sat there blank faced and scared
knowing that I couldn’t cry
For I knew what would happen if he
saw the tears in my eyes
Each and every swing felt worse and
worse
And then all I wanted was to be dead
in a hearse
He got real close and whispered
“***** I wish you weren’t alive”
And all I was thinking was you’re
right, I wish I wouldn’t survive
He threw against the wall then
proceeded to pin me to the ground
He hit me again, covered my mouth,
not letting me make a sound
I started to struggle and tried to
release myself of his forceful grip
Then the next thing I heard was a
loud, horrifying rip
His hands were cold and I cringed at
first touch
I don’t understand how a father
could hate his daughter so much
I froze and I couldn’t believe that this
was really going on
I just kept looking at the clock
wanting him to be gone
I tried so badly not to think of the
sharp pain
And this wasn’t part of his usual
game
I closed my eyes wishing the time
would just pass by
And that next time I opened them I
would be up in the sky
He pushed harder and harder and
excruciating pain was all I felt
The next thing I heard was the
unbuckling of his belt
Something happened inside of me
that I can not explain
I got this surge of energy and said “f
you and your reign”
Somehow, someway I got out just in
time
But what he had already done will
never get out of my mind
From then on my life has been
forever changed
It was like all I knew had been
rearranged
I hate him with everything I have in
me and so much more
And one day I want to end this war

Cortni Basford Poem
No One will ever truly know me.
How can they when they never even
try,
because I smile they assume I am
happy.
No One Knows Me.
I hide behind a mask,
they just never did get it.
No One Knows Me.
It is a difficult task,
always there for people but they are
never truly there for me.
No One Knows Me.
Friendships, I have many,
if I do why do I still feel alone in this
world?
No One Knows Me.
I guess it is just a curse,
they wouldn't understand.
No One Knows Me.
They wouldn't care,
they would call it a teenage phase.
The emotionless mask will be up
forever more,
waiting for someone to take it off of
me.
No one will ever truly know me.

Cortni Basford Poem
I have a girl, a good one
a girl who looks after me
a girl with a winning smile
a girl who makes me laugh
a girl who is beautiful
a girl who is kind and strong
I have a girl who ticks boxes
a girl who is something special
a girl who is loving
a girl who has great patience
a girl I'm lucky to know
a girl you'd dream about
I have a girl I'd fight for
a girl who makes me think
a girl who feeds me
a girl I'd write poetry for
I have a girl, a good one
a girl I wouldn't swap for the world

Cortni Basford Poem
You told me you loved me and that
you cared.
You promised sweet kisses and to
always be here.
You were once so good and kind,
gentle and so very sweet.
When just thinking of you my knees
grew weak.
When you're hands were in mine,
chills ran up my spine.
Now my world is upside down
All the silence is now sound.
Fantasies are nightmares, dreams
are like hell
You don't hold my hand and I
wonder who is it I am sharing my
man with.
Your lies are effecting me, stressing
me, making a mess of me.
I can't even vibe with you, especially
knowing you had her in your arms.
The same ones that used to protect
my worries and stop my fears.
The hands that wiped away my
tears.
The lips that once gave sweet kisses
and spoke soothing reassuring
words
The once welcoming sincere smell
of you shirt now makes me sick to
my stomach.
Sick to the pit.
I know I must face the truth.
I hate this shit. I want to hate you but
all that will do is cause pain to me.
Only God knows how this is effecting
you.
And silly me still in love.
Me. You. We. Her. You. Me. Pain.
Sorrow. Resentment. You

Cortni Basford Poem
So I met this guy
Who gives me everything
in the world
I have known him since sixth
But then we had a fall out
I love him to death
I hope marry him some day
But will love me even with
my past
Between the rape to the beatings
from dad
Yes, he will
This is the love I found because
I opened my eyes and looked
at the big picture
I love you Andrew Alan Huddleston
