it's a pretty long poem but its the most amazing thing it the world. PLEASE read it! my friend sheina really poured her heart into this poem.

No Matter What Happens
I remember a time when each day was long,
when the world was my playground, and life was my song,
And i fluttered through the years, with barely a care,
Ignoring the future and what waited there.
School was intriguing wand filled with delights,
I played away daytimes and dreamed away nights,
my parents assured me i had nothing to fear,
and that no matter what happened, they'd always be there,
little i knew, of a world outside home,
where tragedy,sorrow,and murder could roam,
all i saw were blue skies, rainbows, and stars,
i looked past the destruction of buildings and cars,
as a child, my biggest concern was just me,
i had to be happy, i had to be free.
And if i was content, i would not shed a tear,
and no matter what happened, i still would be here.
But as i grow up, darkness starts to set in,
my bright world has turned into concrete and fin.
I know see the violence, i looked past before,
my friends start to die, and my heart hits the floor.
Deadly diseases claim the people i love,
there are landfills below and pollution above,
i often think back to when life was a game,
but no matter what happens, it cant be the same,
There are days when i just want to break down and howl
to give up completely, to throw in the towel,
but i hold my head high, and push my way through,
i have too much to give and so much to do.
and i make a vow that though it'll be hard,
ill go on with a smile and play every card,
ill give all i can, help others and love,
no matter what happens, life will bloom again,
and all the strength i don't have will come from above,
so come take my hand and through the darkness we will sail,
If we join together we can never fail, well remember to care,remember to feel,
and no mater what happens, our world we will heal.
