Ellie. My name is Ellie. I want to be a writer. I want to be a star. I want to be free. I imagine myself riding on wide open roads, on the back of a motorcycle with a boy who is as much of a ghost as he is a person. I imagine myself dazed in rooms filled with a purple glow. I imagine pills, lust, liquor, leather. I want to live forever and I want to die young. My name is Ellie. I don’t know what home means; I don’t want to. I need people to love me. I will break all of their hearts. I imagine late nights in underground clubs… Marlboro, rock & roll, Howl by Allen Ginsberg–the bible. Tanqueray; falling down in a graveyard muttering in Romanian, hoping for salvation, but while I’m called an angel night after night I’ve got the devil in me. Rosewater runs through my veins, the blood has already been spilt. I won’t ever belong to anyone, not even myself. When you have the knowledge that nothing’s real it’s hard to do what’s expected of you. I relate to flowers a lot. They’re beautiful, but they don’t last. Sometimes no matter how hard you try to take care of them, they just run out of life. I think I ran out of life the day I was born. Everything is nothing. The gods don’t want you to know that, but that is the one truth.

'come on, ellie, just breathe.' he said to her. 'but, finn i c-' 'stop talking and listen to me for once.' he demanded. 'but, sometimes even to breathe hurts. i can not do it.' she whispered, stating the truth. 'do you love me?' 'of course,' 'then do it for me, ellie. breathe for me. be free.' he encouraged her. i can't do it, finn.' 'sure you can, i love you.' 'okay, then.' she gave in. and then, she let out her first and last breath.

I am a chameleon Black, white, red or blue I’ll be whoever you want me to. In therapy I’m told it’s because I don’t know who I actually am, but the thing is there I am also a chameleon. While sitting in that uncomfortable leather chair I’m a girl unsure- broken by the weight the world places on my shoulder but outside of that room I’m more sure of myself then I am sure of the laws of gravity. I am a chameleon Most days my name is Emma, other days its Emilia and on the rare occasion its Ellie. It may seem a little odd to you to have so many different names but I think it’s because I truly am different people. See Emma is serious, but she has a fun side, while Emilia is fun with a serious side. Ellie is that broken girl from the uncomfortable chair while Emilia is always smiling never feeling an ounce of pain. Emma, well she’s broken too, but in a different way- that dosen’t matter much though because there is no way in hell she will let anyone see that. I am a chameleon But not in a disingenuous way. I’m not trying to lie or make you like me. Don’t get me wrong, I want you to like me, but I learned long ago that no matter how hard I try there will always be someone who doesn’t. I am a chameleon Because I love you so much it hurts, that’s why I want you to have a version of me you flel in love with. The person I truly am changes with the tide- she is far to disconcerting. So for you I will pretend that I find “Grey’s Anatomy” enjoyable or that I like eating eggs because you deserve some shred of consistency. I am a chameleon I hide from the world by blending into the background- it’s safer that way. Not just for me, but for you to. That way I can only show the parts of me that is safe for you to see. The heaviest pieces that have caused so many people to run will remain invisible. You tell me you want to see. You tell me that you want to carry my burdens. The thing is, others have tried but, eventually, they are all crushed under the weight of my brokenness. So, I am not afraid that you will leave, I am afraid that you will stay. I am a chameleon Because I choose to be. See if I blend in then you can’t get too close to me. The farther away you are, the less it will hurt should I disappear and the last thing I want to do is hurt you. So… I am a chameleon Because I haven’t truly decided if I am going to stay yet.

If I ruled the world things would be this way: The Hunger Games would be watched every single day, Tomorrow When The War Began would be listened to and read, While others choose to have the figurines next to thier beds, John Marsden and Suzanne Collins would be the best known authors, And mothers would go out to dinner once a month with just their daughters. I would be a rich and famous actor and a poet, Ellie, Julia and Taylor have talent and I know it, I just need to figure out the best way for them to show it, Maybe in acting, writing or singing, I have no ideas for my bell they are not ringing. I would stop all war and poverty, And everyone would have the same amount of property, I would even out the money for every country, And have all my fruit and veg hard and crunchy, Our world would be a multi-cultural, accepting all religions, One day I would get rid of all televisions. Swimming would be a sport at school as well as cheerleading and diving, But everyone would have to take lessons in surviving, And every day my hair would be curled, All of this would happen if I ruled the world. written by maegan cattermull

Conjunctive Word (And... Ellie Hughe's Challenge)
Eavesdropping A good man is hard to find Said my Nana, That was the day I saw tears in my nana’s eyes As she nervously stuff her monthly tithe in the envelope And headed out to church that Sunday morning Before, shouting at my granddad I guess she was mad as hell at the old fool That was the day I found out that my hero my grandpa Was having an affair with the widower Estelline Beckley “Ellie you’re the only woman for me said my Granddad” However, my Nana wasn’t haven’t any of that So she slammed the door on Grand dad I remember being scare, and confused, About this family feud So, I hid under the table, and prayed to God for the scream and shouting to be over For several weeks all my Nana did was prayed And all Granddad done was to burnt her pots and pans Boiling water and making coffee. Nana told the neighbors, that those harlot with a trail For a rear end, can cause a man to climbed, a mountain without his proper gears That statement still baffles me until this day. Until many years later when I met my mother’s sister here in New York the spit and image of my mother. But had the very spirit and expression of my Granddad so much for eave dropping and family affair

My Dog
You have no idea, how much I wish that I could take the pain away, And replace your teary eyed nights, With peaceful dream filled sleep, My heart breaks, when I answer the phone to your tired voice, Which is full of fear that you cannot shake, I want you to know a few things, I have told you them all before, You are stronger than a million warriors charging into battle, You posses more knowledge than the smartest people on the earth, You are worth more than what people tell you and make you think, You have wisdom beyond your years, You have felt more pain than anyone should ever feel in their lifetime, But you are a survivor, Overcoming every hurdle with grace and dignity, I don’t believe in a God, But looking at you navigate life with such grace and pushing fear aside, Makes me believe in you the way some people believe in a higher power, You serve as my inspiration, The person who I want to please with my success, You are everything I want to be, Because you, Although scared, and frightened, Have created, moulded and navigated your way to a place, Where even though, there are still scared, tear-filled nights, Is the right path and place for you to be. ― Ellie White

Fictional Characters I've Loved
Why is the elephant afraid of the mouse, If the mouse is ten times smaller than the elephant? Because one day the elephant was walking down the street, Just being itself, Listening to music. Next thing you know.. The poor giant animal has a mouse pointing a mouse-size gun at it's head. That's when a GIANT! tear fell from the elephant's GIANT tear duct. "Please Mr.Mouse don't **** me for money, I'm only so young and I don't have money!" "That's bull-crap, Ellie Elephant!You're the richest elephant in the country" "Please spare me!" Ellie the elephant hands the mouse her ten thousand dollars and runs away.. This is when the mouse's posse comes out from the alley, And they all scream, "YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT BE SCARED YOU BIG FAT ELEPHANT!" Well.. Yeah...Be scared elephants.. Go ahead.. Let the tiny mice scare the ba-jeezers out of you... Yeah! That's right! Be scared!

Yeah! That's Right! Be Scared!
He touches My hair All the time, Plays with the Edges and Fragments, And sometimes reminds me that "I can braid, You know." Sometimes he does. Sometimes he mimics me In History class From across the room, And he laughs at all my jokes, Even when they aren't funny, Just Stupid. And occasionally, When I'm sitting in my little niche Between his desk And Ellie's, Right on the cold tile, He'll attach his forehead to mine And just look at me. Sometimes he'll whisper, "Nose," And point to it, And I just giggle And break the stare. I don't even think he feels it, The wishing to always be near him, To have his fingers in my hair All the time, And for his laugh to be My soundtrack. I don't think That when he stares into my eyes He wants to kiss me As bad As I want To kiss Him.

Eleanor P. Carney sat with her legs folded, Casually reading a catalogue As she waited. Her mind drifted Effortlessly away from Joe until: "Come this way"  said a voice dimmed, In light of the current situation. The click of Ellie's t-strap heels Turned the heads of many Beauty parlor goers, as she Was lead to a back door. A *** of boiling water hosted Sharp things for slaughter. "Now, I have to ask, On account of virtue, Do you really want to do this?" The beauty practitioner who Practiced more than beauty, stood in The corner, tying an apron around her thin waist. Eleanor P. Carney shook  her head, And sat down on the Cold counter knowing that She would not regret this. Ruth L. ****** struggled everyday To find new ways to disgust herself, But the lack Ms.Carney's Shame and guilt would Do just fine for today.

The Adventures of Eleanor P. Carney
Poignant prose chucked out and recycled by morning. Turned out trick repeated til boring. The local band just started touring. Sonnet's blasted until the ladies are 'whooring'. ... Roxy Music dropped David Byrne. For Ellie Goulding and a remix of burn. Robert Johnson's been reworked. Ratatat rap as interest is perked. Dylan picked up the silent game. Making ambient noises which all sound the same. The Rolling Stones joined the church. After buying some of Hoosier's merch. Nicki Minaj claps her **** Laying down a tribute for Terry Fox's stump. Benefit concert soon to be run. By the played out Glee Club composing Fun. Beach Boys dragged in with the tide. ...And Stars Collide. NOFX has gone clean Fat Mike's gone and become a dean. Tom Waits stomps out to Kendrick Lamar. Hacking up bits of blunt induced tar. Bumping out in Steve Ellison's car. To Captain Murphy's karaoke bootlegged from a bar. ... Less than 10 good tapes a year Even fewer if referring to those others actually hear. Jack White's gone third eye blind Getting over run by his drug free mind.

My heart was broke up on Primrose Hill. Her heart was broke by the pier. I took her name off my boat like a pill. Ellie May, I been wrong, you hear? Back at the Blue Bell, my heart became near.

On Primrose Path
"I love you." I repeated to myself in the dark and dreary room. "I love you. I love you. I love you." as if it would brighten up the gloom. "I love you." I shouted to twinkling and abundant stars. "I love you." I yelled to the red planet Mars. "I love you." I whispered to my little flower *** However my face may have whispered my state of distraught. "I love you." I sang to the slow setting breeze. The words came off my lips with such an eloquent ease. "I love you." I confided to the cold winter night. Through solace and indifference that comforted my plight. "I love you." I proclaimed to my favorite blue pen, then I looked outside my window and that would be when, "I love you." I chimed to the evening moon. Her bright light informed me that the time would come soon. "I love you." I stated to the dimly lit telly, and that's when into the room walked my beautiful wife Ellie. She glared at me and grabbed her suitcase, my heart pounded as such it would were I in danger. She swiftly passed me a glance and left, because I could not say "I love you." to a stranger.

"I love you"
And I know I said it a million times a sensible girl like that just pretending that we’re cool. So tonight it’s for the best you didn’t listen. And me, falling for it screaming that I’m right when I still see it all in my head; but the grass ain’t always greener on the other side. I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment; eyes on fire and they burn from all the tears; so I’ll be on my way - we don’t even have to try. Let me know all your giving me is fiction looking for some trouble tonight. And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong, I wasn’t finished dreaming, about your lips. How can you understand something that you never had?

They fall upon us over the spillways of time, Burbling at us through some Radio Free Nostalgia Courtesy of some college station sitting at the far left of the dial Or streaky CDs at the rear of some forlorn shelf, And we know them to be to be, if not outright falsehoods, Among the more variable of truths (As all truths are, if we’re being honest about the matter) For when someone sets out to create the Great American Whatever, It becomes quickly apparent that such paths Are not straight and clear, but wind and double back upon themselves, Replete with thorns and weeds with bladed edges; Egos must be stroked, revenue streams and margins considered, Leaving one’s primary legacy as a testament to compromise. But to be a casualty is not necessarily to be a fatality, And through the narrowness of a three-minute window, Purveyed to us by quartets of chanteuses Who were no strangers to compromise their ownselves (So many staged photo shoots, So many hokey Christmas songs and cosmetic-sale jingles) We can glimpse momentary epiphanies, Crescent-moon slices of the verities, Which, if not the whole truth and nothing but, Provide us with something to hold, something to hum As we go about the tortuous business Of making some sense of the whole **** thing.

Just Maybe...
She was surrounded by people with different identities People celebrating being somebody else, if only for one night Or possibly they were more themselves than ever Perhaps they're reflecting the monsters they see in themselves at midnight It was supposed to be a happy night and a fun party With laughs, good food and jokes So why were so many people sad? Oh right, all of our love lives ****** Owen had a crush on Kitty, Ellie had fallen for Jake, Nate needed closure with Erica who never even came And I was in love with the boy allergic to straight answers With him things can never be in black and white When I ask him a question yes, no and maybe are all his answers That boy was a huge mystery That I intended to master He wore a tux, a top hat and a mustache drawn in sharpie And God **** did he look good I was dressed like Sherlock Holmes But he was still an enigma I couldn't understand I must admit, I made a ****** detective And I could never be a Sherlock Holmes I wasn't smart enough to get down to the science of how I felt And as much as I wish I could, I was never able to read his emotions But I was tired of pining over someone who would never love me back I needed to tell him we couldn't be friends anymore, because I was too fond of him Apparently I was more ignorant than I thought Because according to everyone I was the only one who couldn't see you loved me a lot So I found you and asked you if that was really true You smiled at me and said "No **** Sherlock."

Oh right, all of our love lives ****** Owen had a crush on Kitty, Ellie had fallen for Jake, Nate needed closure with Erica who never even came And I was in love with the boy allergic to straight answers With him things can never be in black and white When I ask him a question yes, no and maybe are all his answers That boy was a huge mystery That I intended to master He wore a tux, a top hat and a mustache drawn in sharpie And God **** did he look good I was dressed like Sherlock Holmes But he was still an enigma I couldn't understand I must admit, I made a ****** detective And I could never be a Sherlock Holmes I wasn't smart enough to get down to the science of how I felt And as much as I wish I could, I was never able to read his emotions But I was tired of pining over someone who would never love me back I needed to tell him we couldn't be friends anymore, because I was too fond of him Apparently I was more ignorant than I thought Because according to everyone I was the only one who couldn't see you loved me a lot So I found you and asked you if that was really true You smiled at me and said "No **** Sherlock."

The funniest thing about the Andy Griffith Show. He had an aunt that he loved so. Which took time for Opie to know. He had a deputy with one bullet. Give him more. Then you were in for a show. But, he also had a famous phase. Like "Nip It In The Bud". Which every now and then, he spoked. In truth Bernard P. Fife was vital to the show. Yes, the funniest thing about the Andy Griffith Show. He was a good parent first and fore most. He was fair and firm. When it came to his son. After all. He only had one. Unlike that , of My Three Sons. The men seems to gather at the Barber Shop. Which , we still see today. And like Flyod, many talked before they cut. And many times. He would cut too low. Yes, this was part of the fun of the Andy Griffith Show. Who doesn't remember Otis? Who could teach many drunks today's a lesson. He personally checked himself in. Just to sober up and leave again. Who doesn't remember that adult kid Ernest T. Bass? Who many of times was sneaky and smart? Or wanted a uniform just to wear it with class. Of course the black and white shows are better than color. All because they are so much funnier. We admire Thelma Lou. Still trying to figure out exactly what she did do? We remember even Ellie. Who wouldn't give a senior citizen? A sugar tablet. Yes, this was part of the fun of the Andy Griffith Show. I could go on. But I stop for now. Least until, I see the show when Bill Bixby learn a lesson. From visiting the town.
