I only wish to see the artist play
a game that does not interfere with this.
A portrait of a mind that doesn’t stay
in line with what is taught to all our kids.
A nuclear weapon set to self destruct
a tiny tear in threadless high design
an addict who is honest to the rug
to which he whispers into every night.
I want to see the artist make a dent,
to smash the frame until it’s fine enough
to form into a line he might regret
and breathe it in until he can’t stand up.
How obvious the stakes become, at last
when every perfect piece is printed fast.

For fourteen years I have listened to your shouting...

...yet you say it's out of love.
    
     "Do this! Do that! No no no its all wrong!" You say.

   Little do you know that she'll do anything just to make you smile!

  Even I can tell that it's been missing for quite a while...

...but maybe you like it this way.
      
    Maybe you like it when your voice reaches a higher octave.
  
     Maybe you like the damage caused by the words you've been spouting!

You've shouted for fourteen years and I'm tempted to show you the door

...because I fear you'll scream for fourteen more.
I wrote this a while ago
I think that when I’m older
I’ll think back to now
The happenings
Of a 14-year-old
And wish life was still just as simple

But for now
I can’t wait to be older
And it couldn’t come any sooner

Fourteen days
And I knew I liked you
Fourteenth
It all began
Fourteen times
I followed you
Fourteen days
You ignored me
Fourteen texts
You read
Fourteen lies
I believed
Fourteen dreams
You shattered
Fourteen times
I think of you each day

Fourteen months
Since the last I saw you.

I hope he goes to bed tonight,
knowing that he's loved*
more than anything.
I'd give anything to hold him in my arms again.

The children and their futures,
Born into families,
I'm gonna date if I choose to,
Picking up a different ***** each time to
Fill the void of what was missing but
She was missing a long time ago,
I need you.....
Told the devil
Don't you tempt me
I'm not in the mood,
I'm not understanding fully of what's
To come,
Of course I'm always the fool,
I'm not trying to be rude,
I'm a star in all the hateful people's eyes,
But from the stars I can not run,
This is not fun,
Give me the gun,
Put it to my head,
Memories rerun,
Get your refund
For the bad future for all your daughters
And sons.

Yours is a dead end, but it's the only path I want to take
Chelsea Patton May 2015
He is only 10 he should
be crying beacuse he
feel down,not beacuse
someone called him a ***.

She's only 12,she
should be playing with
makeup,not razors..

He's only 14  he should be  out with his freinds,
not tying ropes...

She's only 16, she
should be out on dates,
not staraving herself...

They were all 18, they
should have been
celebrating graduation,
not a furneral...
hope u like it
