Alyssa Colling: Poetry

Mural

2 weeks have past
and we are finally done
the unvailing was great
everyone had fun
but the very next day
to all of our surprise
there was a tag on the wall
you could see the sad in our eyes
the drop-in was closed
all the kids were pissed
that because of someones ignorance
there'd be something we'd have to miss
So we helped clean off the tag
and kept our heads high
just because someone f*cked up our sh*t
doesn't mean we have to stand by
now it's all said and done
they did what they did
we go on with our lives
being street kids
