Pieces of Me

On City sidewalk corners
stands anger, 
Desperation and Pain.
Buyers, Sellers, Pushers!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
stop; look around 
faceless stranger lays dead.
I calmly walk away.
Pieces of me dripping
into the river of unrest

Sounds like were I was grew up, but by your writing I don't have to tell you, you just found an outlet, keep on writing on.
