I walk through the valley of death 

A year goes by of violence and pain, pushing through the darkness not knowing if our world will still be here to see our dreams come true.


But with the pain comes suffering, and complaints and insults because of acquisitions and judgment of one another.


Shootings, why do we do this we are just making the day of judgment come faster and faster?


With every day of death, waking up becomes a gift. 


They say they lost faith in our generation that they had a rough childhood, but we, oh yes, we have to grow up with things that seemed were not even plausible.


They used to be able to ask someone for directions without being worried about their life. 


They used to be able to go out and not have to carry a whistle.  


Yes, this world is bad, but I have faith, a very broken and weak faith, but faith it is.


The author's comments:

Hi, my name is Logan I am in 8th grade and I'm 13 years old. I love music and theater and I try to be optimistic but sometimes things happen that make me worry, and when I worry I get anxious. Well, I was having a discussion with my parents about the bad things that were happening, and we got on the topics of shootings and I started having an anxiety attack. So to calm down I started writing this poem and let my thoughts spill out onto the paper. I eventually got around to typing it up and gave it to my English teacher. He told me about TeenInk so I decided to submit this poem to you.
