homeless
CURLED UP IN THE DOORWAY TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP
STOMACH RUMBLING NEED SOMETHING TO EAT
WRAPPED UP IN LAYERS
RIPPED SOCKS BATTERED TRAINERS ON MY FEET
WAKING IN THE MORNING
SHAKING AS I FREEZE
ASK A PASSER BY ANY SPARE CHANGE PLEASE
SEARCHING THROUGH RUBBISH LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT
YES I AM HOMELESS
BUT NO IM NOT A DRUNK
I NEED MONEY FOR FOOD NOT TO BY DRUGS
EATING OUT OF BINS
HOW LOW HAS MY LIFE SUNK
IT TAKES BUT ONE PERSON TO SHOW THAT THEY CARE
NO MATTER HOW HARD I LOOK THERE IS NOBODY THERE
ONE DAY I WILL GO TO SLEEP
BUT MAYBE NEVER WAKE
SO NEXT TIME YOU SEE SOMEONE HOMELESS
GIVE THEM FOOD FOR GOODNESS SAKE
SY 2013
