East Coast

East Coast

By Jalen Pugh

Clack , Clack do you hear that?

Grown men strapped

Little kids carrying bats

Time stops, suicide written all over my wrist

My heart stuck in a twist

Now I’m here another VA child

No one would know about

As I can’t swim and drown

I don’t believe in this town..
