Pocket Change

Noah

Young. Fairly young.
And there I was.
Head full of strange.
Rattling pocket change.
Street signs were my only compass.
Looking for another overpass.
I could sleep here.
I could read there.
They stole my bike.
They'll steal my fare.
I'd call a taxi
To get me to a job interview
No place to shower
No place with a view
18 and homeless
19 and shaping
20 and counting
And my heart is gaping

    This really intrigued me Noah.... sad little window into someone who is lost.

    Very well written and eye opening to say the least. Very interesting and thought filled.
