Today, about a half a mile from my house, a severe tornado ripped through a neighborhood where a lot of my friends live. The tornado went right by my high school. So far, 7 people have been killed and at least 40 people are injured. A few of my friends lost their homes and stuff. I am just asking to say a prayer for these people. I got really lucky today. Just, please, say a prayer for them. Here is something i wrote about it,,,,, it is very short


Why did you have to come
Why couldn't you have just stayed away
You took lives and homes
You walked through their houses like you owned them
And you left them all destroyed.
I hate you
I hate you so much.


No matter what you are going through, all you have to do is close your eyes and dream cause no one can take them away from you.
