Love & Drugs

I live in a city where crimes and drugs were as common as pizza parlors.

A city where when you hear a gunshot, you know better than to go play hero.

Where you know not to stare at someone too long, and not to wonder into the wrong part of town.

It's the city where I grew up. It's where I live now. And maybe someday, I'll be able to escape it, and leave behind all the terrors that I have become so accustomed to.
