Liar Liar
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
Lair lair! waste my time
Lair liar! equivalent to slime
Built me a home under a delusion
Therefore my absence is the resolution
Liar Liar! You are disgusting
My respect for you is just combusting
Liar Liar! Waste my time
Lair Lair! committed sins
Now pay for your crimes

Equality
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
A man cheats on a woman, she beats him up. Everyone thinks it's funny what she did because he "deserved it" he did a terrible act but didn't deserve physical punishment.  A girl constantly takes her boyfriend's cell phone reading his messages, she's possessive of him, bosses him around, controls his life. " She's just a jealous girlfriend, it's cute" if a man shows similar traits, he's abusive and she should leave him. A man is sexually assaulted, "he's a ***** and should of enjoyed it" a woman is *****, it's all over the media. Women want free birth control, they protest in a Women's March. Men ask for free birth control, Feminist will not allow it. He isn't interested in you because you are over weight, it's a horrible insult. An obese man ask you for coffee, you say no because he's not your type. No one says anything. Marching and protesting for equality when it is nothing but superiority, having it all but you just crave more.

My analogy
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
People are not going to say that they're coming home with pizza and then come back with a bag of chicken, unless the pizza place is closed. Beware of someone who claims that they have a type especially if you don't fit the description.

Let me sleep
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
I wish that I could feel that joy of finding a four leaf clover. Such luck receiving something so small and simple. As of now I have nothing, so please wake me up when winter is over. Before my memories become nothing but the waters ripple.

Hope and dissapointed
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
Putting your hopes up in someone who does not care for you. Is almost like trying to throw a lasso over a cloud. It is impossible and will never work.

What really needs to end
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
You are not

A ****** for being a man

A racist for being white

Homophobic for being straight

A terrorist for being Muslim

Or a bigot for disagreeing

Stop generalizing
You're not anything unless you commit the act

Spider
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
He was a spider who lured me into his web. He did not eat me nor try to harm me, he had no intention at all but to leave me there stranded and confused.
Well I'm single ... Again

Adaption issues
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2017
Sitting here staring into the sun, reminiscing about the days where life felt a little more at ease. About how all is changing, how I have grown into a woman with her own life as I mentally say goodbye to peace of mind.
I'm moving in a week and I was forced to put my dogs in a foster home. while I'm currently in college working my *** off. This is how I'm feeling.
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2017
Greed is a person who enjoys sitting on his balcony as he sips tea, laughing as he hears others suffer, beg and plea.

Roaming soul
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2017
I'm a ghost
Unlike most, I have flesh and bones.
Alive and breathing but a roaming soul.
Trapped in darkness looking for the light that shines, only for a short period of time.
When I think I have all, I end up with none.
A never ending treadmill through hell until I find happiness again. Unsure if this metaphorical death is a curse or a problem leading to a solution of mine but the heavy bags on my back tell me I need to try. I cannot cry because it's embarrassing, I cannot scream because my mouth is taped by consequences. Stuck in hell with no fire but the burns of selfishness and torment from those who sent me here.

My January hell

No returns
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2017
If I gave you earth, you'd pollute it.
If I gave you the ocean you'd freeze it
If I gave you land you'd plow through it.
Just how I give you love and you neglect it.
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2016
**** is a horrible disgusting crime!

But for Muslims it's fine? Hmm

Shut up you're being racist

But we're not talking about a race.

You're the oppressor that everyone has to  face.

But I'm only one person!

You're a white male!

That's being racist aren't you against that?

Excuse me sir! Did you just shame me for being fat?

This has nothing to do with anything.

You may find me unappealing but get down one one knee and give me a ring.

You just seem to really dislike me though

Did you just address me as a ***?

Where is this coming from?

How dare you violate me? What's next slip drugs in my coke and ***?

I'm starting to believe you've had enough to drink.

Are you saying I'm uneducated and incapable to think?

Well I'll admit I thought it since there are words you can't comprehend.

When will this patriarchy come to an end???

Just one song
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2016
You're not even worth remembering. But when that one song plays, I still get the same sick feeling in my stomach. As if I just discovered your true colors all over again.

Too afraid
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2016
You step outside every day with the possibility of being murdered. You eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with the possibility of you choking, drive your car with the possibility of you crashing. You take risk every day yet you're too scared to fall in love.

Unexplained feeling
Chloe Zafonte Nov 2016
I have a horrible feeling in my gut.
That I can't shake off and it's driving me nuts. I don't know if it's me or you, maybe something from out of the blue? Panic attacks kept me up all night, I stared at the stars with this restlessness I tried to fight. I can't tell you what's going wrong, but I just know I have to stay strong.

Waiting for you
Chloe Zafonte Nov 2016
When I died, I floated to the moon.
I sat upon him and waited for you.
He told me not to worry, I'll see you soon.

Wishful thinking
Chloe Zafonte Oct 2016
Counsel me for what goes on in my mind
Although you're non existent and hard to find.
Chloe Zafonte Sep 2016
It was my first week of kindergarten.
The adults around me went from being cheery to glum and irritable.

I came home that day and took my back pack off, I walked into the living room to see my Dad screaming and crying at the T.V! I looked at the screen to see the planes crashing into the towers, channels replaying it over and over again.

Images of Osama Bin Laden's face replaced Saturday morning cartoons. School went from learning to constantly singing patriotic songs and how we love our country.

I could not fully retain what was happening around me but I could feel the emotions of my teachers, parents and peers rubbing off on me.

The world went from green to gray that day and now I understand why.

When the damn opens
Chloe Zafonte Sep 2016
My mind is water
My subconscious is the ****
That holds the water back
When the **** opens
The water breaks free into the lake
As for the flood, it is my tears.

Veiled
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
I see death in the form of a crow
As he watches me suffer from below.

The very city I walk in is destroyed
From riots society could not avoid.

The streets crawl with what resembles
The walking dead who do not speak
They just groan in dread

I bypass people's windows they expect  love and care.
They do not see me, I am forced to cover up my face and hair.

This is the only freedom I get for today
As my master sleeps, if I do not return
as he awakes he'll beat me until I weep.


I survive on a short leash, I can't help but wonder the city walking in the blood of those who died just wanting to make peace


My name is changed, my rights were taken.
Seeing my family and friends is forsaken.

The world became deluted and I am
now enslaved in a country where most wanted to stay.
I'm trying to make a story out of this.

Role models

Do yourself a favor
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
People associate with others they have a connection with

People reply to the ones that they care about

Men and women date a person they're attracted to

People make time for the one's they see as important

If they haven't asked you out

If they haven't text back

If they have no time to talk to you

They legitimately aren't interested

So move on already.
I always have to drill this in people's heads.

Older but more vunerable

I look in the mirror and I see an older face, a thinner body and different hair. But the same emotions stay in place as I try not to care.

When the snow melts
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
Growing up my Dad always told me
"When the snow melts the dog **** will still be there". In regards to people being fake.  I realize now that it applies to feelings too.

Homeless
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
People have turned the idea of love into a homeless drug addict. They'll see that you're offering a warm welcoming place to stay and you're love is the heroine they are craving. Once they're satisfied they'll leave then return when other options are unavailable.
Don't let "drug addicts" into your life.

What's better?

You can either sit down and let someone you "love" treat you like ****. Or you can can stand up, demand better for yourself and walk away. The choice is yours.

Murderous beauty
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
Her hair was burning flames, you reached your hand across and continued to braid.
She left a trail of your blood behind her, you cleaned it up as you followed behind.
She took a blade and removed your heart from your rib cage, she still felt it beat in her palms. She left you to die laying on the hard ground and you still watched in awe as she walked away as you closed your eyes forever.
Sometimes a person can make you angry in so many ways but you continue to love them.

Too good is never enough
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
We all enjoy the heat
until it becomes unbearable
As everyone migrates to the rain storm headed east.We'll all be grateful that sunshine came, they'll want you back
Once bored of the pouring rain. If you really keep close watch,You'll know that we treat people the exact same.

For the people
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
If you don't want to have kids then you're a selfish person. If you have a baby you're either irresponsible or didn't do enough in life beforehand. Not being a ****** means you're boring as for losing your virginity means you're disgusting wait until marriage. If you're not stick thin you're too large so lose some weight.

You're too thin eat a little more you want to be a model don't you? You only have eyes for one girl. That means she's controlling you bro maybe you should get out of there. Now that you've cheated on   you're a *******.

Who wants to hang out with someone who drinks and does drugs? That makes them look like a loser although not doing it makes you completely boring. You're beautiful the way you are dear but have you tried contouring your face?

You're nose is too big you look like Nigel Thornberry. Eww why would you get plastic surgery? that's so unnatural, you're a horrible role model to young girls. Your clothes are too revealing cover up and be modest and dull.

Boy your pants sag to too much pull them up and be more classier. I like a man who dresses classy. What are you dressed for a wedding? I'm not marrying you! I like a bad boy with tattoos and piercings.

Pay attention to me you're always working, I'm leaving you because you're too clingy. You didn't have *** with me so I'm out of here! Now that we had *** I'm still leaving you and moving onto other things. I'd like it if you changed for me, now that you changed I don't feel the same for you anymore. Goodbye!

You spank your child! You're an abusive parent I hope they get taken away from you. Your child acts like a little brat, this is what happens when you don't discipline them. You should be responsible for the kid you raise.

Who do you want us to be? We're not perfect and cannot achieve everything at once. Our lives do not matter to the opinion of a stranger nor society itself.
A poem by Chloe Zafonte.

America: my analogy
Chloe Zafonte Jul 2016
America is your stereotypical hot blonde. She complains a lot and has a new problem every few weeks or month, easily forgets when something new pops up. She creates rumors and lies to prevent everyone from knowing the truth because she loves seeing everything unfold into a disaster. America is attractive, every guy wants to get in her but they realize that it was a huge mistake after they do when they realize how annoying she is! Once a month America starts her period and it becomes a ****** battle of endless drama lurking all over the land, seeking the sanity of it's victims.

A generation of sociopaths
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
A 2 year old boy was killed by an alligator
"I don't care he was white"
"The parents are neglectful"as these people mourn their baby that
they created, birthed and raised for just a short time.

The gorilla was shot simply to save a child
" justice for harambe" " they should of killed the kid"

50 people have been shot dead in a gay nightclub by a man who pledged to isis. "Islam is a religion of peace" "hug a Muslim" so the LBGT  community no longer matters? You'd rather defend a religion that isis branched  off  of?

A man gets arrested for ****** a girl and gets 3 months in prison which is completely unfair and he doesn't need to be in society. All you say is " it's white male privilege" do you people care about that traumatized girl? Who has the deal with this humiliation for the rest of her life.

Take time to realize the suffering and embarrassment the victims and the ones who personally know the victims are going through instead of defending perpetrators and bring outside stories into the case.

The mental me
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
I hate the way I am. How I over think everything until I mentally believe that the people around me don't care for me at all. One little thing sets me off and it becomes more than it seems, where I have to be reminded about the good things. How the thoughts I have make me afraid of myself so I sit alone thinking of ways to destroy the thought itself. I'm afraid that I might hurt others in the near future because of the anger inside me, I worry I'll hurt my husband and kids when I have them, I'm worried I'll hurt my family and friends when they're the last thing I want to damage. There are days when I become angry and I hear the monster inside me scream and curse and destroy everything in it's path there are days when she comes out and she's hideous. I hear my conscious speaking of things I don't want to hear, the voices become louder and it distracts me from my daily life and I drown them out by sleeping so I can wake up to them again, I've heard these voices since childhood and they've become a nuisance and the worse part is that sometimes what they say is true. If you ask most people what they are afraid of they would answer something like death, snakes or spiders. But if you ask me I would tell you that I fear myself more than anything.

The Flute
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
I've been dead for quite a few years now, well not a few years fifteen maybe a little longer I lost track of time. I usually stand here on the corner of the old burger joint that's sadly closing down soon due to maintenance, this place is apart of me it's where I spent my last few hours before I got mugged and shot by some wasted ****  trying to rob the place, he put a bullet between my eyes because I got the money away from him, surprisingly enough he didn't run off with it after it all laid across my dead body. But I don't let the past haunt me, I'm just apart of the past that haunts the place so what good does it make?

I never really bother anyone, just watch the pedestrians go by, old friends of mine age like whine actually more like cheese but I'm just glad they're all doing well, seeming to have forgotten me and it makes me realize I truly am dead. If anything there is the one who makes me feel alive, Sofia, the woman who works from morning to noon at the restaurant. I know that she can not see me but she brings the light of Heaven into my purgatory.

I sit at an empty rounded table in the back of the room watching her greet customers with her sacred smile, she passes by my table and I expect her to notice me and take my order but she moves along. After her shift is over I follow her outside, often holding the door open for her, she's worked here for fifteen years and she just thinks they installed automatic doors. Sofia leads me to the street corner by the cross walk, she slams her fist onto the button and waits for the orange hand to appear and crosses the street, vanishing behind the speeding cars. Though I try I cannot follow her, if I step one foot of this curb I fast forward back to the restuarant and there I wait patiently for her to come in the morning.

Sofia came and was not herself, her dark complexion had gone to pale and red with fury. She ended her shift early, charging out the doors as I sprinted behind her, on the left of me was a Sikh man sitting against the walls of another cafe on a small rug playing a flute, quickly and without thinking, I possessed his body and played a favorite tune of mine, it's sound came out more beautiful than I expected. People began to crowd around as I got louder and louder and before my eyes was Sofia herself, tears of joy streamed down her face and she smiled and said

" I remember Robert, I remember"
This is a dream I had last summer. I wrote it on another site called storywrite.com that I no longer use. This dream really stood out to me by because I found it heart warming, hope you enjoy.

Green eyed witch
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
She captivates all the men in her path, do her wrong she'll show her wrath. She can see your soul through her green eyes, read your thoughts and know all your lies. She seduced you by her charm, her laugh, her grace but she won't bother to replace.. you when she is hurt, you'll be nothing more to her than a spec of dirt. Dancing so fluently as she feels your stare, just gaze in her eyes she has a lot to share. When she's gone, she leaves an imprint on your soul where you will never again feel whole.
