My heart was broken up like a puzzle, my body couldn't move a muscle. But the people depended on me to make a final decision, to entertain or worry about poverty. I dreamed of helping the homeless and becoming a hero. Though my dream was never fulfilled, I still had a chance to stop hunger, war and to protect the environment from dying out. My heart beat so fast, I couldn't keep up with my voice. To stop agony and destruction, my heart had to return to my regular heartbeat. I fought all these years, yet claiming many awards and earning the "Earth Hero" award. My voice became so powerful, the future of earth was in my hands. Peace and quiet was restored back on earth and everyone lived happily ever after.
