Trials
No matter who you are the going will get rough.
Decision is what makes your life,even if it's tough.
Though it may be easy,the crowd's not what you follow.
As you make these choices, you lose friends. Your life is hollow.
Struggles never cease throughout your teenaged years,
Alone in your bedroom you shed many tears
Smiles forced throughout the day
Turn to frowns and fade away.
When you're finally on your own, the pain will come, enough to make you groan.
Though they may not notice, people can be cruel.
They're trying to fit in and achieve looking cool.
Friends who you thought you could trust
turn around and are unjust.
There is no reason, it appears,
to endure throughout these years.
But please do not feel down
because your life will turn around.
If you choose what's right,
you will win the fight.
You have passed the test
now it's your turn to be blessed.

I think that the author should go to the Wild Animal Park in Escondido, California. Its a huge park with biiig cages/enclosures for the animals. One such enclosure is several acres for all the African herbivores! And it has programs for breeding wild animals and releasing them. All zoos should be like it.
