Crack smoke fills the lungs of the hopeless
Cold endless nights spent in alleys and gutters
Sickening sights that make the average man shutter
These drugs become allies friends and lovers........
.
.
.

Incomprehensible thoughts spin the mind of the schizophrenic
Living in an unfamiliar space feeling out of place
Pain, Torture, and Pleasure become one emotion
Moods shift swiftly with barely a notion
These pills become their magic potion
Ingesting dose after dose to ease the madness
Achieving temporary joy and everlasting sadness.....
.
.
.

Heroin flows through the veins of those running from their past
Years of abuse burns in the back of back of her memory
The nights He snuck in, and told her to hush when....
All forgotten as she drifts in and out of consciousness
Walking the line between suicide and euphoria
But nah you wouldn't understand........
.
.
.

Acting out is on the agenda of the gay and transgendered
Robbed of their innocence at an early age
This is their way of life
And a manifestation of their Rage
.

Would you dare hold a conversation with the homeless man
Who was once a Soldier, Husband, and Father
Or the Stripper who needs those dollar bills to feed her Toddler
Hear their stories and gain some insight
Maybe you'll have more appreciation for your own life...
.
.
.
No ones perfect,
And no one will ever be
We all have our personal battles
And cant' control the situations we were born into
So think twice before you judge.....
