Living In Chicago Poem

Im From Chicago  you ain’t safe on no block

Hesitating Whether or not you locked the locks

Where Having Fear In Your Heart when walking is normal

But In Reality You Feel Awful

Sick And Tired,Of being sick and tired 

Worrying About If Any bullets going to go flying

Having to travel in crowds 

Because traveling individually 

You can go ghost like clouds

It’s Crazy What This World Is Coming Too

You Can’t Even Trust The Ones Around You 

That’s Why You Have To Stay To Yourself 

Even if you feel you have to help oneself 

Prayers,God, And safety are words I Repeat Daily

So those words stick with me making sure I make places safely 

I Know God Got me through whatever,whenever

So I Keep My Head Up when passing whomever

I Keep Self Confidence In these streets

But Somehow those words “ Prayers,God And Safety” Repeats

In My Head Like A Beat

I Stay Safe For Myself And For My Family 

So They Won’t Have To Go Through Insanity

It’s Crazy You Have To wish a peer before leaving them a 

“ keep your head up be safe “

Because I’m Reality these streets

Aren’t safe and don’t love nobody 

They would take one of your members 

And have you dropping a tear
