Without my family


without  my  communiy  i  am  nothing,  

streets  full of  joy  and  positivity  is  what  i  need

peoples  unique  minds  and  kind  hearts

is  what  i  believe

arms  outstretched  to  me  

my  city  is  known  for  violence  and  murder

i  see  kindness,   kindness is  what   i  see

family  and  friends  are  my  life  jacket

without  my  community  i  am  nothing

<p>Compton, CA &nbsp;is &nbsp;known &nbsp;for &nbsp;violence &nbsp;but &nbsp;i &nbsp;dont &nbsp;see &nbsp;that &nbsp;a &nbsp;lot. &nbsp;my &nbsp;family &nbsp;and &nbsp;friends, neighbors &nbsp;and &nbsp;teachers &nbsp;are &nbsp;the &nbsp;things &nbsp;that &nbsp;help &nbsp;me &nbsp;survive.</p>
