Turning Point I've been stuck in this cycle, going around. Every day feels the same, I'm losing ground. Searching for a sign, a reason to fight, Wishing for a change, dreaming of the light. When will the dawn break through the night? When will my life turn around, I plead? Longing for hope, for a heart that’s free. Echoes in my mind, they never die, Waiting for the moment when I can fly. Thoughts in my head, they haunt me still, Chasing shadows, it’s a test of will. Every road I take seems to lead me back, To the same dark place where I feel so sad. I can't seem to find my way out of this maze. When will my life turn around, I plead? Longing for hope, for a heart that’s free. Echoes in my mind, they never die, Waiting for the moment when I can fly. Someday I’ll find my way, I’ll break free, Waiting for the sun to shine on me.

The night falls so swiftly the darkness over comes As the moonlights up the sky the transients begin there cry The motor bikes soar as they are  looking to score. Greed, theivery and dispair floats thru the night air. They are watched from a  distance Indulging  in sinfull  ways with  begging  brings a penny or two to get them thru the day. asking for assistance as they are watching your every move. We close our eyes and turn away Life is starving with dispair Is their no repair The streets are  lonely and ***** no where to sleep pushing and pulling carts full of stuff we throw at their feet. Everyday struggling to survive. Uniforms push them around making life more shallow as they are already eating off the ground. Lost souls walking ,waiting for a chance to excape People have no refuge Scamming to get high hoping for the next free ride Always confused and no self worth being criticized ,boy if only they had a clue. You will Surely be  changed living life in the dark,smelting heat ,dusty wind  ,darkness is here this is all they have now. Once you land here stay your distance the forces will pull you in and you will never get out. Dont even try to be a scout. So forget who you were and rest assure. The heat will melt your soul Always watching behind you and nothing's ever there. Is this what the future fortells ? hold on to your shirt tails. Hell on earth is what they say No one lends a hand and no one cares as they are only thinking of themselves Warp sense of morals all for a buck or the next hit. What a ***** horrible place this life can be in this city in  AZ Poor you poor me its not the place to be.

My life is no life in any light My heart feels only pain even  breathing has weakend my soul. I look  into the eyes of  delectation and feel despair I beg for  some jubilation  to take my soul and release me from misery thats all I see and feel is the dispair in my eyes How can one look unto another in this way and insert nothing but  evil and then portray glee for the deminishing of their heart Double bladed are the Hippocrates that adore admiration.

Why?
When you put your life on the back burner To help a lost soul find its way ,then your life will be filled With gratification and you then will feel Completely worth all that you sacraficed. For their is no better reward than to make a difference to someone other than yourself.

Up all night sleep all day nothing ever gets done My focus is deminished my goals are no longer what I loved is dead to me and my smile will never be I feel no love anymore and no happimess for this is what I picked.I feel as if I am in a mud sinking in the earth alone and sick I lost everything I am so ashamed  Trapped in  a plastic tube with a sharp point dulling with every pull I did this to myself to hide my pain this is the new me no future no goals no self respect   and no self esteam I feel like Im insane. I cant look in the mirror for I am afraid of who I see just emptiness its like looking at a ghost that was once me I pray that someday I will wake up from this hell I live . And  someday feel alive  Hopefully I  will survive As the days keep  coming I see less and less one day I will awake and see no more . There is  nothing  left ,what can I expect what happened to me and why ? I could never confess.  I live a life of hell why did I allow such weakness to prevail Its the rush of my new found friend As its drags me down and leaves me to drown.  Who ever thought as the  feeling was to  good  We keep chasing the high only to face the devil with  his deceptive way oh how we will pay Chasing the high that will Never be the same . lost it all no fortune or fame I leave old memories and laughs for a dark future For one day you may want  to chase the rush  please understand no one survives  this evil thrush. Its, over you loose everything never to be the same . Your addicted only making  things worse you must be insane many years of torture many years of despair For  now your life is  beyond repair no one really cares I cant breathe no more for all I see is darkness  no thought no feelings alone in a wooden box rotting away no high no life I threw it all away Was it really worth it?
