I Will Survive and I Will Deliver

Will I ever amount to anything? My neighborhood breeds criminals, murderers, prostitutes and drug dealers. I am immune to the sound of gun shots, sirens and screams of pain, When another young person is gone too soon. Will I survive to stay alive or Will I survive just long enough to die Before any hope of a dream is materialized? I looked into my mind’s eye and Determined that I will survive; I will rise above this mental state Leave, learn, return and educate; To end this cycle of Life and death Where only positive contributions Can deliver the rest.
