- The feeling of pain
- Drives a man crazy
- Only way to overcome it
- With an injection of a needle
- Sadness fills the air
- In a neighborhood
- That was once amazing
- Now known as a pathway to dangerous town
- Cars doing donuts, making sideshows
- Filling the air with pollution
- The man can’t take it anymore
- Wonders if mental issues are inside him
- The well-being is at risk on a daily basis
- With dreams of once being successful
- Of being able to afford everything
- Is fading away
- Sadness fills the air
- Depression lives within
- With no access to healthy living
The poem was written by Luis Ramirez at the EAT Summ’it workshop hosted by Project EAT. The workshop encouraged youth to create reaction pieces to health problems, like diabetes, in their community.
