IN
My town is quiet like wind blowing through trees.
When i looked at the moon it looked at me and said hi.
I had seen a girl that was walking down the street.
I had never seen her before, so i looked at her..
I seen her eyes, they were greener than grass.
My town is quiet
When i go outside, i never hear anything out there.
Sometimes just ice cream trucks make the noise.
When i woke up i went for a long walk outside.
For the first time, it was really loud.
And i noticed that it was the fourth of july.
And that’s why i had heard my whole town for the first time.
My town is quiet
I never hear anything, not even birds chirps.
The only time there is noise is when they are cars.
My town is quiet.
