Over The Years
Five years of age
Pigtails and dresses
Happy as can be
As her mom cleans up her messes
In school she plays
With her two best friends
Playing hide and seek
Until the bell determines recess's end
Ten years later
At the age of fifteen
Her life has turned around
As she has become a teen
Her father has died
Her mother is depressed
School causes anxiety
Her whole life is stressed
Friends have come
And friends have gone
But at least her and her sister
Still get along
Two years later
Shes a junior in school
Her sister is a sophomore
Whos not considered "cool"
Her sister gets bullied
Her sister is depressed
How can she help her?
She is even more stressed
One year later
Her sister has died
Her mother is hopeless
There is no one left by her side
Six months later
She meets such a man
He is sweet and charming
As he takes her hand
He turns her life completely around
Giving her courage and happiness
Making her personality loud
She is always smiling, ear to ear
She could'nt imagine how much could change
In just one year
She entered highschool stressed
She was sad and alone
She graduates confident
She has finally found her home
He gave both her and her mother
Courage, hope and love
He made them love eachother
And gave happiness to their angels above

I was inspired to write this piece by several movies and TV shows that I have watched. I hope people get a sence of hope from this poem. I hope they understand that no matter how bad life gets, it can always get better, no matter what.
