Fear

Fear powers the mind like nothing else.
It confuses the mind and sets a sense of disillusionment.
People loose all common sense and everything gets jumbled in their minds.

Who would have thought that something like this could happen up here?
How could somthing like this happen?
I feel sick. I want to go home.
I want all of my friends together.
I want my familt together.
I want people to stop killing for no reason.
There is no reason to kill.

Gangs are rediculous.
It's just a bunch of insecure people who are afraid to break out of their shell, afraid to be themselves.
They are afraid that they will be disowned if they do something that they are not told to do.
They are afraid of being left behind, afraid of not belonging.

Fear is an aspect in everyday life.
Sometimes it is more prominent than others.
I hate being afraid. I really hate it.

People say that gangs are a "family", that they look out for you.
But fear and anger is what drives gangs.
Fear of being "taken out".
Fear of being alone.
Gangs are not family.
They are what takes you away from your family.
They are an excuse to get out of the house and make other people's live miserable because yours is miserable.
It's a way to get you away from your family, away from making a better life for yourself.
It's a way to get into trouble.
It may be a way of life, but it is also a way of DEATH.

FEAR.
Forcing people to form groups and gangs out of violence, hate and anger.

FEAR.
It's becoming a way of life.

FEAR.
Turning stomachs. Taking lives.

FEAR.
I hate it.
