Look all around you Look at all the pain This is what it's like Being in a gang You're hurting yourself and others And you need to leave that place There's only one problem The gun is staring you in the face It's a dagger in our relationship Can you feel the pain? Probably not-You're too busy Shooting drugs through your vain I worry about you day and night Wondering if there's still a you and I Wondering if you'll make it Wondering if you'll die... You made the choice Made it all on your own I hope you're happy Living life alone ~If I had a star for everytime you made me smile, I'd be holding the entire midnight sky in my hands~ |

Wow... this one hit hard. I know someone who's in a gang, and it kills me to see him go through that. It kills me even more to know I can't help him. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Good job. --Marie I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am. |

Very profound piece here, a realistic topic that doesn't get enough recognition. Kudos on an original theme for a poem. ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |

Nicely done here. You've discussed a topic we usually do not see around in the forums. Very good poem....  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

I wrote a poem about my friend who was in a gang about a year ago. He died cause he thought being in a gang was something that made life worth living. He was shot 6 times. Whoever this person is must mean something to you or else you wouldnt have wrote it. Why not give the person this poem and let them know how you are feeling. I just reposted my poem. Read it please, its called Still Shining Brightly. People leave our lives as quickly as they come, but the ones that mean something leave footprints in our hearts.

If you really do care about this person, I suggest you do all you can to get him out of his situation. It'll be hard, but still try. Hope one day he does see the light  "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, |

Wow, this is really deep. Deep and different...I hope that it was a fictional experience for your sake. I had a friend who used to shoot himself up every night, it wasn't a pretty sight and in the end there was nothing we could do but leave him alone. I tell you, it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, just walk away. I don't even know what happened to him, does that make me a terrible person? Probably. I really liked this poem. Hit close to home. |
