Central District

"The owl route cruised to the "mixed" income and low priced areas of Seattle. The Metro illuminated the darken streets leading the homeless, the over worked mothers and the rebellious youth home; to the southend. The bus was old, the seats eroded over with mildew and the windows were tagged by previous riders. The aroma of dampened cigarettes, perspiration and dry urine mixed with the chilling breeze rushed through the nostrils of the individuals that were all too familar with the bus route #7. As for me, i sit in the back secluded in "my world" with the cracked out hoes eyeing themselves in the mirror fixing their lipstick, the wanna be pimps and the weed men whispering, "Aye, Aye...i got that 2 for 15." As for me, this way, my metro ride i think about the other side...FUCK i miss the CD."

I wrote this when i was in the 10th grade...I'm from the Central district and i moved to the South End of Seattle and both areas dont get along with each other and well it was hard moving from the cd to the southend. At the end of the day i laid my head down at my parents house...but home is where the heart is. I saw unspeakable things on those bus rides and walks home that made me despize living in the southend but im happy that i seen all that.....but i still miss the CD...well Pre 2007.
