The Homeless

Dirty and hungry sitting on the ground i beg

people walk by without notice im invincible

I cry alone no where to call my home

 

Walk a mile to fine a warm place to sleep

Cold sick cough contracted on the street

Good samaritans how mercy they bring food to eat

 

Mental illness takes my body in utter defeat

Harassed kicked spat on bullied always beat

Months years go by the smell is awfull reeking

 

Unable to seek help and speak i remain a ghost

Disowned by family for past mistakes replaced

The struggle is to hard to bare i look up and stare

 

The constant pain living on the streets hurts

Wishing i can get a new life with all it's perks

Sad story rest in peace to the man who overdosed
