To Approach Zero

Growing up in a desolate lifestyle sometimes brings reality full circle
Being caught between the haves and the have nots of a deeply disturbed society
Where there is a constant dilema of damned if i do and damned if i dont

Some seeds find their way out by illicit  use of drugs
Others choose to pawn off their bodies in exchange for money
Yet and stilll others choose to self inflict suicide or generate genocide on their peers


All this in the name of escape
To loath freedom yet trying to seek it's riches no matter the cost
In an neverending search for bliss
A complicated matter that seems at times to miss the entire target of hearts
Who wallow in the shadows of an extreme darkness
