Life is a playground

Tears, life, emotions bursting

We struggle through it

A crow is at war
Nations fighting for their land
Everyone loses

Pencils help you write

Blank paper is for writing

To write cool stories

I like to eat food

I like to go eat pizza

I like Dominos

A tiger hunting

Birds are flying through the air
The birds are chirping

I like anime

Mha is the best one

I watch it at night
