"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." -Ray Bradbury


With the sirens luring me to sleep

And the helicopter looking for someone

I quickly lock the doors

The next morning, the sirens were for a man who overdosed

And the helicopters were looking for a man who escaped

He hasn't been found

I go to my high school musical of a school

The classes with every type of art imaginable past by quickly

Finally my mom has come to get me

She almost runs someone over... again

The streets honk their horns then go back to their maddness 

My neighborhood has made me...

Extremely Cautious

As Tough as Diamonds

In a writing program I go to, WrtieGirl, they told us to write about our neighborhoods and so this is what happened.
