I am from a place

I am from a place of broken down homes
The trashcan of society
A place of addicts
And alcoholics running around
Corrupting the children
Of today's age
Just by showing themselves

I am from a place of failure
A place with no road leading to success
Only a road making you orbit
Around and around
Back to the place you started

I am from a place
That expects not more than average
A place that does not encourage others
To make a goal
A place that does not know best

I am from a place
That has no name
A place that is kept away from others
A place that is in the badlands
A place that is kept a secret

And I call this place home…
