Ashley - NOLA Myths

Not everyone owns a gun.
Not everyone loses a loved one.
It’s not a game of warfare.
There still exists love in this New Orleans air.
Although there are some crimes,
There are also happy times.
And I am proud to stay here, without any fear, in the city that I love.

Ashley, age 16
