When you have no one to vent and there is no faucet.
You try to think happy but nothing comes out,
When you have no friend to turn to when you wandering about.
The only thing you do is sit along,
As there is nothing to eat and your listening to you stomach grown.
I am the ugly duckling; will my beauty ever shine through?
I have no one, if only they knew.
I sit on the streets and the kids just laugh
Because I am as dirty as a mutt and there is no bath.
But I still hope that one day I will be better than that
Because I am trying to make something from nothing if only
They knew that.
Every night I am lonely and cold,
I am looking food but it is all mold.
What do I do? I am tired of this.
I am 48 years old and I haven't even had my first kiss.
I want to leave this world but, I would be letting down the people
like me.
We don't have a voice because people just let us be.
We need help, we need a new start.
Don't just hand us an old shopping cart.
We try to get jobs but they don't except us.
They just tell us no and threw us under the bus.
But, even after all of this I still hope that someone will help homelessnes,
And that you will not think of us as less.
Don't just read this poem and forget about it,
Please donate even a bit.
Here's the link to learn more about homelessness and how you can help!!
