    if you look in my eyes

    If you look in my eyes
    u will see the pain
    u will see where i came from
    and where my soul remain
    you will see the urinated hallways
    and the chaulk out lines
    of those who have met there untimely demise
    if u look in my eyes
    u will not only see death
    you will see desperation of people
    who will do anything to have wealth
    If you look in my eyes
    you will see
    crackheads and pimps
    killers & hoes
    stick up boys and murderers
    and drugs being sold
    If you look in my eyes
    There u will find
    crooked cops and fake pastors
    getting over all the time
    a community a risk
    when it gets dark outside
    cause in the devils playground there's
    no where to run or nowhere to hide
    If you look in my eyes
    You then could decide
    If I'm wrong for how I turned out
    Or if I'm wrong for my crimes
    if u look in my eyes
    there u will see
    that I'm a product of my environment
    and that the hood destroyed me
    I f you look in my eyes then you will believe how easy it is for the children of today
    to become victims of the street
    if you look in my eyes
    u will see were I grew up
    then maybe you will realize why I say I don't give a fuck
    If you look in my eyes

    Again raw emotion. Again you can change. It's not too late. Don't let your environment control you, you control it!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
