What can stick to you
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Be careful what you say
Your words impact and
effect people more
Than you think
It doesn't matter if it's in real life or online
A person can get hurt regardless
745 · Dec 2015
They don't matter
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
The people who don't like you don't matter
Live your life
**** all the racist and homophobics and these people who hate you for no reason.

Walk in my shoes
Chloe Zafonte Apr 2016
Tell me I'm a loser
Tell me I'm not well in the head
Tell me I'm a horrible chooser
But let me tell you that if you lived in my shoes
You'd already be dead, you'll never know what I have gone through.

Be the best you can be
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
We live in world were we are told to love ourselves and if we do we're a conceded *****, so in that case be the best ***** there is!

Most people worry about dying alone
I just worry about dropping dead without doing what I always wanted.
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???

Moon and the sea
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2017
When you stand by the ocean, watching the moon kiss the sea. Maybe then you'll remember me.
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.

Don't grow up too fast
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
There's more to life than being
Gorgeous and rich
Finding someone and getting hitched
As well  as reproducing a child
There's a time in your life where you need to
Be young and wild!

Role models
Chloe Zafonte Aug 2016
Everyone wants someone to look up to but sometimes we idolize the ones who look down upon us.

Start over
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
I wish to erase the past and make you my first love, my first kiss, the one I lost my virginity to, this is my silent cry. The only one I've said I love you to and to see pure love in your eyes. You make me wish I have waited for you all these years as I was wasting time in manipulation and tears.

Straightforward
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
I look for things straightforward in this backwards society

Who I am now
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
My emotions were once monsoon rains now a dry summer day. I look in the mirror and notice that I've grown, my appearance has changed. The person from a year ago will never stare back at me with crying eyes and obvious hurt, I am now a woman who is more at ease and alert. No longer feel that I am lost but evidently found, you feel enthused after burying your troubles in cold hard ground.
615 · Feb 2016
You know nothing
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2016
Don't analyze my life,
I've seen things that would land most people in a psych ward. Held back tears that can save the lives of the poor and thirsty, gave all I had for disaster in return, kept secrets so lives wouldn't be destroyed and felt pain inside myself worse than a cobra's venom. If you lived in my shoes you would be dead, I'm surprised I'm still standing.

"hypocrite"
Chloe Zafonte Jul 2016
There's a difference between being a hypocrite and learning from your mistakes. This is why we shouldn't judge people by their past they don't belong there anymore.

Cobra
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2015
Don't purposely step on the cobra
and cry when it bites
Half the things people cry about our things they did to themselves

Confession
Chloe Zafonte Apr 2016
They say that I'm one with a future so bright.
But it seems my anxiety helps me fail to see the light.

What I want most
Chloe Zafonte Jun 2016
I just want to sit on a swing on the back porch of our future home, with the dog at our feet, watching the sun set beneath the trees. With my head on your shoulder without a care in the world.

I'm a mess
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
I don't want to be the cause of someone else's distress, when in reality I'm an even bigger mess.

Value
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
"Having it all"

Does not mean that you have the largest house on the street, a great car or all the money you can earn. What is valuable to you is not what keeps you happy, but keeps you sane.

Stop competing
Chloe Zafonte May 2016

Cookies
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
Loving multiple people is like eating a box of cookies it's so satisfying but in the end it's going to hurt and you wish you only had one.
Just making a statement and maybe poly relationships work for some people I can't judge.

Coping

I'd just rather move on than be stuck somewhere.

As the pressures of society bring us tears
We cannot seem to dry.

Universally stupid
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
How do you think life will be if we all were forced to think the same? The opinionated would play their games, the innocent would be put to shame. If the world shared the same perception of beauty we'd be just turn monstrous and snooty. People would tear each other apart, the dumb will mock the smart. The strong will become weak, more insecurities no one seeks. Fake will be the new real and lips will be forced sealed. The world has come to this as in today as to why most have chosen to go astray.

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.

Don't hate
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
Hating the rich won't make you wealthy. Bashing thin women won't make you skinnier and bashing someone you think is  ugly makes you more hideous.

Past abuse
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
I have grown and time has flew
Three years have passed and I'm still afraid of you. I'm no longer a dumb teen but horrible memories still lie between. Abuse still hits me like a subway train, why it still haunts me from this day is something that will never be explained.

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.

Band aid
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
There's a bandage for every wound, you're the only one choosing not to let it heal up.
Things are going to hurt you but if you choose to dwell in memories, you're doing it to yourself.

Caged Human
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
Peer out the window, I see the snow. Another reminder of how I have no place to go.
No room to think nor privacy to cry, in the cage I go to slowly and painfully die. An animal I am, soft skin, young face, two legs, no fur. Unloved, untouched, hoping for a miracle to occur. Only left with memories of simple moments where I felt free, the only chances God himself has ever given me. I feel lonely, though there is more to just being alone. I am a human with needs to has an urge to do everything on her own.

Am I on your mind?

Emotionally unattached
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
After all the crying and heartache, the feeling went so fast, I've become so emotionally unattached. The memories fade like a cut out phone call and I've realized I didn't love you at all.
I went through a break up months ago and surprisingly I'm really over it. It usually takes me  year or two to really forget a person but this went out in a flash.

Ungrateful humans
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2016
Sometimes you can't please people no matter how hard you work, realize that it's not you and you can't fix a ****.
People put effort into a relationship and end up with nothing and they think they're not enough well you are , you're just wasting your time with a loser.

One day
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
One day you'll wake up and whatever is hurting you now won't phase you any longer. Look forward to that coming day.
I read a lot of poems on here about heart break and I just wanted to say that it will be hard but you'll feel better when it hurts less.
539 · Mar 2016
Why bother?
Chloe Zafonte Mar 2016
If you're not interested in someone
Don't date them! If you don't want to be someone's friend, don't talk to them. If you don't like what you see don't look at it. If you have different believes then don't bring it up. Stop putting yourself out there to let everyone know you're against something in particular or no one will like you.
Literally no one cares about your ******* opinion and stop involving yourself in things that disinterest you, you're probably already miserable as it is.

Losing someone
Chloe Zafonte Apr 2018
I wish that the person you once were would come knocking on the door and take us on and adventure once more. You'd rather lie, sneak around and get high and I'm just left here to cry. All I have left of of you is a baby attached to my hip, he has your eyes, ears, hair and lips. He's the only thing that reminds of who we used to be I hope one day you'll open your eyes and see... The family you've torn apart. Times may have changed but didn't leave my heart.
On April 6th I gave birth to a baby boy, Jacob Rigel. And his father is no longer in the picture because he's decided to use ****. It's really heartbreaking for me at this time but I have a child that means the world to me.

In a crowd of sheep
Chloe Zafonte Feb 2017
Slandering words are overly misused
Racism against white people is excused
Children are taught that life does not matter in school
disrespecting the peers around you is suddenly deemed as cool
Trying to make it acceptable for minors to be extremely violated
While the truth and reason is completely and utterly annihilated
Living in a world where people starve, die from disease, their names
forgotten. While you have privilege to run naked in the streets spouting how
the new President is so dishonest and rotten. When another disagrees you cry, you
sit in a world of fake news, selfish celebrities and Tumblr post that feed you lies.
You are not an activist, you are a sheep. Following the crowd of people who are clueless, who have taken a big leap. Into a pond of lost identities, leading to where they believe that something amazing will happen, something bigger than Christ's resurrection. Yearning for what they really want.

Never ending attention

False hopes
Chloe Zafonte Jan 2016
Life is too short to feel unappreciated with people who will never be satisfied who live by nothing but pointless lies.

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.

Traveling
Chloe Zafonte May 2016
I miss breathing in the fresh morning air in another city full of sunshine. Seeing the unfamiliar faces and accents and how different they acted from where I come from. I would look at the window and see all the different animals that would linger in the fields and mountains and how the rain was warm in some places. How the cities lit up at night and how I'd wake up to loud speeding cars on the busy road. The adventures I had with young children I vaguely remember and my family members, miss traveling I do.
Growing up my family used to travel around the U.S until life got harder.

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.

Poverty
Chloe Zafonte Dec 2018
They say if you're poor, your lazy. Tell that to the elderly working minimum wage jobs, yeah I know ****'s crazy. Get a Master's degree just to end up working at starbucks, needing experience to work a low level job. We can all strive for success were all just getting robbed. When in need of a place, you need to make 3 times the rent, when we're only paid 11.50 or less and they wonder why millions are sleeping in tents. College professors are eligible for food stamps, while their CEO is eating up their salary. If I had to paint a picture more clear, it would be in an art gallery. Helping the poor is being put on a 4 year waiting list, government aid you can hardly live off of while the rest are just praying the Lord above. Having to apply to live in a shelter for limited time for people who carry less than a dime. I can say no more. A simple solution, we could only wish for. Now it's just a fight to the top, to make your living situation as solid as a rock.
