Homeless

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

      Yep, been there done that. It won't leave you. Fresh out of the shower you'll remember the unwashed feeling and maybe those who cared.
      Certainly made me think back reading your piece here. Thank you.

        An incredibly sad and touching poem. It's a situation we could all find ourselves in, but for the grace of god. It's good to know you are doing better now. The dark times in our life do help us to appreciate the sunshine, when it comes. Beautifully expressed, Waynec!
