Carcogenic Blues

by poorchick14

Heart in chains Ain’t got no brains Since we was a fetus We’ve wondered who would lead us So nothing has changed I’m still deranged Still waiting for the answer While my brother is sick with cancer A life without gains… Emotional strains… Unbearable pains… Forever it rains.

I am a aspiring actress who loves to write poetry! I love this site and would like to support the many causes, as well as get my own work out there! I'm actually saving up to go to The American Musical and Dramatic Arts Academy in Los Angeles. However, college is expensive. I actually found this website through scholarship questing.
