Going in circles

In the heartbeat of man take a page out of any book written about the struggles of just being alive. There are bright spots most days for all but for some the turmoil of life seems to hit them squarely on a daily basis. They can protect themselves through removing themselves from the streets but once it's in their blood from more days there than not how does common sense still remain the leader of their path. Confusion and disaray seems to be the main dish on their plate for to many hours spent among the caious. Why does it seem that insanity has to be the prerequisite for making it on the streets. Among the 4 walls of one's home as well can become a danger when all time spent there. Searching among the neighborhood for a safe compromise there has to be one. Who do you trust where do you go. Why is the festive and arousing colors of the city gone where did it go. Every person that comes out to take a view sees the same thing visually but what changes the outlook is the taintedness of one's mind and experience. What's the solution.
