Drop Drop into the deep end, new faces daily right up to the weekend, the realization of your current situation yet to set in. some are looking for retribution, others caught in eternal confusion, thinking they see the end of the path but it's just a delusion, hardly any one making moves, many of them are just goons, blue baboons. there's only a righteous few, making daily moves, which they can prove, as they get out the shelters, into a new home quite soon. so look towards the new moon, get into the groove, for you have yet to bloom, don't let the place consume you. © Try

Drop in Center
Walking alone by a desolate park Shouldn't have been there, it was well after dark I heard a noise, quite like a bark I'll be honest it caught me off guard "Where you from dawg?" Came the question from a guy who was probably.... the same age as me... Some voice, whispered, Don't stand there: Flee! Yet another told me to stand still, From my pocket I took out a dollar bill, And said: Where I'm from this is worth more than your life. Your dad bailed 'Cus he was a lowlife, Now You think you know strife? At 10 I carried a knife, By 11 I had used it twice, And from very early I realized. The where I'm from In That hell I called home Fools put a nine to your dome For a quarter let it be known. Every single one is worse than Satan's spawn. I grew up Surrounded by this. How in the hell am I supposed to find inner peace? When I hadn't even seen lion king yet But friends with holes on their neck? Yes sir, you bet What else can u expect? When killing your brother is just another step to earn respect.. And I'm About to turn this fool's face into mince Ready to lynch, my fist was clinched.... except.... The other guy was gone The reflection from the water pond The only thing staring back at me. Now I didn't know whether to stay or flee. But The one thing I knew well, Is that in that place... home isn't better than hell
