Victor of the Abyss
Beggars on every corner,Shootings every dayNo one seems to care about itSo why should I care anyway? Sirens always ring A familiar sound, a welcome homeThis life of mineI feel the sting. People think I chose this life?That I willingly entered?That I must have put one foot in front of the otherTo land myself here. This isn't what I imaginedThis isn't what I hopedBut I will not succumb To the ocean that seeks to drownTo the flame that seeks to burn Nor to the poison set on ending meI am not a victim Nor will I take this lying down A victor of the abyss I amStand backAnd watch as I sieze this ground.
