i think ive seen as much as the worst out there. ive seen my boy grow from little boy to full grown bad asses.

im a "homegirl" to all of them i help keep them in check im not one of there triks im "Brujos" lady and have been for ever thats how i got involved. they try to keep me out of things but ive became the driver in some harsh situations, ive almost been shot, and the worst thing is that im known all over. im 17 and most my boys run around the same age most have been in jail and say they want to change but come out and run the street.

all except my Brujo have dropped out of school and have only gotten to about freshman year in high school. one of the saddest things ive seen was my homeboy dead. he was the first person dead i had ever seen and all i could think was about the day before he died he was over with some other boys and i take care of them so they all had there limonade and be! for ha left he says in his thick accent "thank you for the limonade aye". then looking at him from the seats all i could see was the top of his baldy head.

if you looked around you'd see that all of my boys are baldy, it could have been any one of them it could have been one of my close homeboys like the one that seen him die he was the one that held him whiel he bled from the bullet wound in his neck. i cried like no other, none of the guys or homegirls had seen me cry but they did. every time i know they're running the streets or when im there i cant help but to think it might be another one down. what if it was my Brujo? what would i do? what would he do if it was another homeboy.

its sad to think that all this mayhem is going on in the calm out of the ghetto part of where i live. im the middle of rich kids with every thing doing drugs and running in gangs....way out of the stereo type huh? im a good girl and so are the 3 other homegirls but if we dont try to take care! of them who will?

stay out stay safe
