The Shadow
A shadow in the dark, holding his gun.
A Shadow in the dark
Holding a gun.
He was too scared to fight.
He was too scared to run.
His life was filled with total hell
'Cause his love for her had failed.
In the streets, people gathered with their sighs,
As the shadow waved his last goodbyes.
She ran to him, but it was too late.
The Shadow had wiped clean his slate.
A shadow in the dark, holding his gun.
She is too scared to fight
and too scared to run.

While in Boston
Boston: birthplace of the American Revolution. If you ever visit this beloved city, you will be in awe within a matter of hours! I recently visited Boston and fell in love immediately. Being my first visit, I wasn't sure exactly how to go about seeing some of the most historic sights Boston has to offer. Lucky for me, the clerk at the hotel I stayed at suggested I take the "Olde Towne Trolley Tour". This trolley takes you around the city for about 40 dollars a person and also includes a water boat cruise on the harbor. The trolley makes numerous stops along the way and at each stop you can choose to get off and simply just get back on at any given time. Pretty cool, eh? Out of all the stops the trolley makes, I came up with a top ten of places to visit. Enjoy!

A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
