Very sad. The world has become a scarey place.

I think its horrible I have to feel like this
A girl scared in her own town
A teen scared in their own nation
A 15 year old scared to lie down

Take care Cindy

WOW!! This is incredible. Most people don't think about the world's problems. I guess because they figure it's got nothing to do with them, but you take these problems and put them on our front lawn, so to speak. Don't know if you believe this, but it takes strength of character and courage to write about these things. Everyone's always so afraid to (myself included) so I admire you so much for writing this poem.It forces us to take a moment and think about the world around us and to offer up a prayer of thanks to God for keeping us safe. I know what it's like to have those dreams and to not feel safe on your own street. It really is scary. I am completely blown away by this. Excellent write!!

I think your poem reflects the fears which are now too common in our society Chels, it saddens me and in al honesty it does...I never grew up with a fear like this at your age I never thought about war or terrorist attacks and I never slept with one eye open out of fear...I want you and I want our children to have that same priviledge I dont want them to live there lives in fear...what are we doing to ourselves, to our world Chels???

Lets be the change sister

I loved your poem!
