City Streets

 

Dropped…

like a stone into the murky waters of life

left to find my own way

facing the murderers and monsters

that roam these city streets

The hard darkness of the roaring night

split only by a beam from a streetlight

 

Watching…

the last of my innocence stripped away

the monster falls at my feet

a cold weight falls next to him

as I watch the blood trickle into the street

learning the hard lesson of my world

kill or be killed, become the monster to fight it
