Challenge-The Economy of Sustenance (America)

It only         
Left me             
Grotesquely             
Disfigured        
In the             
Arrogance           
Of 3am            
(animal)            
But             
Look at             
All               
The young             
People             
Who             
Have ever             
Died             
Trying to             
Complete             
A challenge           
(Some of ya’ll  
Ain’t gone  
Make it-  
Not everyone’s             
Gonna be            
That lucky        
To be able to        
Support        
Themselves        
In whatever industry      
Porn, came to mind  
Like uhm what's her name?  
TS Madison out of Atlanta,
Showgirl
Calpernia Addams
We don't know who else  
yadda, yadda yadda.)           
             
#4 hour stand off-easy          
#only did that stupid shit once-that's all it takes          
#cautionary tale        
#the economy of sustenance
