someone should have known better than to leave me by myself
surrounded by objects only reminiscent of a home
i thought that i could mangage it, because i wanted it to work
but maybe
not to feel like a stranger in the house you’ve known for years
just takes a little more time
so i sit
on the couch, in the very corner
the same spot i've sat in for years
and stare
at the tv that bares only my reflection
with nothing else to see

just me
my reflection in the tv
and a house that never felt like home

By jeanna.      I Look up the sky i imagine my life... And my past .... What I see and notice Struggles. Struggling every second. Minute every breath u take. Struggles of life.   9 to 5 jobs. Welfare. Food stamps.. Struggles struggles.  Homeless shelter  foster care back n forth what is struggles...  What is s-t-r-u-g-g-l-e-s. Can't say havent been through it...     One point no heat. For days ...  No hot water. But we mangage. We make it through life.... My struggles your struggles all the same . Stand strong . N  deal with it day by day.   Struggles of my life,, struggles of our lives.  I stand strong  because I know  I can make it. Won't let no struggles stand by my dream...  Struggles may have break me but can't make me.....  I stand I look at the clouds n see I will make it. I have I am living my dream living how I want to. Struggles r in my past n will always will b there in the future but I stand! Cuz I believe I am strong..young n beautiful ... I believe... I believe.....   Struggles everyday struggles every second...  But I stand..!
