Homeless
I’ve slept on a bench
And know of desperation
With depression all around
My hopeless situation
I’ve been broke and homeless
Not knowing where I’d go next
With waves of paranoia
Dogging my every step
I’ve been on the streets
In my dirty clothes
My body underneath
Unwashed and feeling cold
I’ve known some better days
With shelters for my plight
I thanked them in the day
And prayed for them each night
I am good these days
And appreciate the help
My spirit I have regained
And I am feeling well
