Ghetto Mama

What happens when you allow yourself to become consumed by your environment, and your environment a part of you? How can you give direction when you've lost it yourself? When you have allowed your circumstances to completely take your zest for life away. When you are broken and your life has spiraled out of control what affect does that have on the children you are entrusted to raise and nurture? Most often children are resilient and can in most cases rebound and can aspire to and want more out of life than their surroundings. What happens when the scars are so great, the environment has completely consumed you, and the scars and lies are so deep and your life is defined by the geographic location your are raised in.
