Author Note: Another English assignment. The reason why I am posting this is because my teacher thought it was good, so I decided to post it. You don't have to review but it would be nice to recieve at least one.

This Thing We Call Life

People think that life flows like a stream,
something that can relax us and bring us peace,
but this is not the case; in reality it is a shattered dream.
It is a thing that is broken and causes fear to increase
as people realize that it is not as simple as cream.

Basically our life is a crease
in time, somthing that is as short as a dream,
something that only last until life cease
to live in a place made of a shattered dream
and all the while hope continues to decrease.

But at moments life seems to be a dream
and for awhile we have peace.
Like when a boy eats some ice cream
or when an aunt plays with her niece.

But most of the time we live in a harsh reality thats true,
a place where most don't care,
where people are either sad or blue
and some wish to disappear into thin air.
A place where some feel that fate blew
their hopes away only to feel despair.

But there are also some who want to be alone,
those who are unique and strong
and don't follow trends like a clone.
These people see what is wrong,
what has been done by people who have no backbone,
by people who pretend to be strong,
by people who act like they are a clone
and been like that along.

Finally there are a few
that know that a smile is rare
and should be cherished like a picture that a child drew
while they stilled like to share
and didn't have a clue
that the world didn't care.

These same people are the ones that don't cry,
these are the ones that don't hate,
these are the ones that don't want to die
and these are the ones that don't tolerate.

They are also the ones that try not to feel
and try not to let their emotion brew.
These are the ones that just want to deal
with life and remain true.

All these people use to have a gleam
in their eyes that came with ease
and use to beam
a smile and say please.

They also used to work as a team,
but now they all want some type of release
for they have all discovered that life is not peace
and that life is nothing but another shattered dream.
