Ashley Shea Poems

They say our God is kind, and benevolent.
'He allows us to live, day by day
And when the perfect moment comes
He takes our breath away.'
...

I get bored sometimes.
Inside this twisted mind of mine.
I'll stop, not listen, while the world turns full of mimes.
They'll draw me for a while, in gruesome, crazy lines.
...

That first time, the first time
I only wanted to try.
I just wanted a taste.
The first breath of smoke,
...

You remember there was such a time,
When disobeying was such a crime.
And now I'm all grown up, just like you wanted
But there's that thing I do that leaves you in the night, taunted
...
