The dark alley, Its ***** ground, The sad children With hungry sound. This was my morning, afternoon, and night— This was my life. Of mud and mice. Now, I lie on beds like clouds, Wear clothes fit for kings, And eat meals of gods. Yes, I live a life of envy. But at what cost? My pure hands now stained with blood, My soft heart turned to stone. Yes, I have it all— But at what cost?

Price of Paradise: A Journey from the Shadows
The dark alley, Its ***** ground, The sad children With hungry sound. This was my morning, afternoon, and night— This was my life. Of mud and mice. Now, I lie on beds like clouds, Wear clothes fit for kings, And eat meals of gods. Yes, I live a life of envy. But at what cost? My pure hands now stained with blood, My soft heart turned to stone. Yes, I have it all— But at what cost?
