Getting high in the projects shoot outs everyday rival gangs hating each other aiming to kill and destroy a life aiming and killing the innocent Little hard-headed kids running up and down the block noisy as hell and spoiled rotten soon to be teen mothers talking to them no good thugs The ones who already got babies walk around looking all angry and mean the ones who got the big bellies look like they don't remember how they even got that way Old guys sitting outside smoking and playing cards and checkers admiring the young girls walking by wishing they were young again damn sick perverted old men Boys playing ball in the park some one always starts a fight girls jumping rope and riding bikes middle aged men whistling at them men on the corner arguing ,one pulls a gun At the sound of the shot people start to scatter a few minutes later nosy ones begin to gather everyone is talking now whispering and walking around Crying babies missing they momma momma out tricking for some cash pops out drinking and ****ing *****es when they both come home they get down and exchange whatever disease they done picked up then laying in bed thinking how it would be to leave the ghetto |

One escape for someone without funds is through writing. Release it through the pen. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Yea I release alot through my pen. I don't really live like this though. It was just something to write about so I wrote about it. |

You describe it very well, Trina. That is the true test of talent. Those who are truly gifted can draw the reader into believing their words are the truth even when they are not. Great job and welcome! All writing comes |
