Hopeful Skies Fade With Time

Work and grind to escape,

But you can’t drown out the reality of this place,

Starving artist with happy tourists,

When will they their share their bliss,

Gather scraps to create new art,

Although the pain is tearing them apart

One more day, one more dollar,

This is the life in Santa Monica
