A* live to every push and shove
B reathing each and every toxin
C aring not for those awake
D ead to insults from mankind
E lecting to run and hide
F rigid walls are formed
G uiding us to isolation
H umanity smells of lies
I nstinct guards our very souls
J ustice no longer exists
K indly acts evaporated
L iving in this city
M anages to make me numb
N early every feeling gone
O nly existing to revenge
P eople who have harmed me
Q uiet forever alludes
R ansacked dreams haunt me
S treaming lights and screams
T ake hold of my mind
U pon these crowded streets
V iolence becomes a way of life
W here can I go to die
X enophobic people in large numbers
Y oung and old alike
Z ero chance that I'll survive
life is hard in the city

A* best friend takes care of you
Because they know this friendship will not ever end
Caring, kind, respects you and your ideas, my
Dad is my BFF for life, not only because he cares about me, but also he, lead me through hard and difficult stages in my life.


*I LOVE YOU, DADDY!!!!
My dad took me through one of the worst things that could happen to a couple, A DIVORCEMENT!!!
I'm crying in my seat just writing this poem, however it is so very true!
