I Live in the Ghetto

Yea I live in the ghetto, the dirty side of Cocoa in a small trailer park just off the highway. I share a small 2 bedroom mobile home with 4 adults and 3 children, theres hardly any room for anything and we just make it by each day. Some people look down on you because you live in the ghetto but they dont know what its like until they lived there themselves.

In the state I live in there are over 100,000 inmates in prison plus each day as crime rates grow higher. Theres a large amount of homeless and jobless people herer in Florida but, not all of Florida is bad. Cocoa is a pretty ghetto area where there are a few gangs, prostitution, hate crimes, and shootings. You have to know what streets not to go near at night where I live or you can get shot by accident in a gang fight.

I have to live on the defensive side because of where I live. Yes I am applying for jobs and no my babys daddy dont pay child support but my parents are helping till I can get the hell out of here and find someplace safe. Maybe its why I dont really believe in love right now because I am always feeling unsafe and my environment is really fucked up.

Do you know what it feels like to watch out for a thug before getting to your car in the morning or getting out of it at night? Do you know what it feels like hoping you dont get shot in the head waiting at a red light on the street of dealers and gangs? How about trying to keep your children safe at the parks where all the homless and mentally ill people hang around or even when your driving because people seem to have no sense of direction and try to drive you off the road whenever they can. Thats what its like where I live.

I kinda know what it feels, I live in Ecuador, third world country, and even if I'm not in the most dangerous zone in the city, from time to time there is someone shot, beaten, robbed... myself for instance, they tried to robb me 6 times already, with 2 success...

sure makes me value where i am...sure there is crime but bugger all really.

some dodgy suburbs a long way from me with plastic gansters compared to what you deal with

i dont lock my doors and i can leave my keys in the supercharged cool convertable sports car when i pay for the petrol.if you drop your wallet 9/10 times someone will find it and return it with the money still in it. nobody has guns.

immigrate to australia?!?!?!?!...our immigration rules are racist but a white usa chick with a beautiful baby girl should be good to go :)

crazy.....but why not

I'm in here, can anybody see me? Can anybody help?
I'm in here, a prisoner of history...
can anybody help?

Can't you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I've been waiting for,
you to come rescue me,
I need you to hold,
all of the sadness I can not,
living inside of me...

I'm in here, I'm trying to tell you something,
can anybody help?
I'm in here, I'm calling out but you can't hear,
can anybody help?

Can't you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I've been waiting for,
you to come rescue me,
I need you to hold,
all of the sadness I can not,
living inside of me...

I'm crying out, I'm breaking down,
i am fearing it all,
stuck inside these walls,
tell me there is hope for me...
Is anybody out there listening?

Can't you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I've been waiting for,
you to come rescue me,
I need you to hold,
all of the sadness I can not,
living inside of me...

Can't you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I've been waiting for,
you to come rescue me,
I need you to hold...
living inside of me...

I'm in here, can anybody see me?
Can anybody help?

Sarah,

I use to live in a bad neighborhood too, and it really affected me. I was so caught up in trying to survive and get what I wanted that I didn't care about anyone. I was a different person back then, mean, angry and heartless. The struggle can change who we are, and cause us to be so unhappy. God worked in my life, changed it. And now I am NOTHING like I use to be, and I feel so much better, so much happier. I am going to pray that a truly positive change happens in your life so that you don't have to suffer anymore. I don't even know you, but I care about you. I can see the frustration that use to be inside of me. Blessings to you and your daughter <3

Namaste, PEACE---

Love, Alan

Hello Precious Soul, my heart goes out to you and the people of your life. The postings on the Ashtarcommand speak of an upliftment. of a time that will come when there will be no more poverty and unhappiness....and I know that when that time comes then all this will be over....

I live in South Africa where there a many such unfortunate peoples.....I know in my heart that they are all good souls, but have simply started off on the wrong foot...at a historical disadvantage....oh how my heart goes out to all of you...

What to say....hold on....its getting closer....

Steven

My god, this is why we should burn everyone in the government whom are corrupters! They caused this, they forced people to crime, drugs and give stress. Fuck those corrupters and fuck the puppets of the World.

We need the GFL, but look at what they do? Bring false hope and lies...

All I want is everyone to be postive and safe.
