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
