Exhausted
In pain
Sleep Deprived


Scared
Uncomfortable
Confused
Worried


Depressed, but hopeful
Alone, but loved
Hopeless but with hope


Homeless but running towards a home
An abstract poem about my experience with homelessness
Renn May 2018
I know
that you've been in the darkness
you're feeling beat
you're feeling hopeless
but I need you to keep on going
for me, love.
I know
that the world is bringing you to your knees
that you feel like
you can't take it anymore
but I need you to live,
for me, baby.
I know
that people hate you
they jeer at you
spit at you
call you worthless
But I need you to say
"**** them"
for me, darling.
Because you're beautiful
brighter than a star
you mean the world to me
and I need you to stay
for me
for your family
for your friends
we love you,
you bright, shining star.

I know who you really are.
You did not do anything for me.
You're not getting any good Karma.
I hope she doesn't get hurt.
You brought me in, when I was at my worst,
And then decided to desert me.
I thought I had a home.
I thought I was safe.
You Lied.
I told you my story.
And you didn't care.
Because I wouldn't be your call girl.
I won't
Ruin your life.
I'll let Karma
Do that.

I'm going crazy
I'm trapped in my head
But you're gonna give me drugs instead?
I'm lost, I'm confused
I come to you
But you're gonna give me another pill?
Just listen to me once
Just listen to what I have to say
Don't give me another drug
That
Dulls my thoughts
Suppresses who I really am
Why can't you just
Help me find myself?
Can't rely
On you to care
So I go to my friends
Who are always there.

I am not your second line of defense.
I am your first.
I can protect you, just like you protect me.
They'll have to get through you before they can get through me.
It's okay to cry.
You came into this world, crying, because you were confused, brought into a whole new world, a new life.
You can cry when you're confused, frustrated, or just don't know what to do.
And I can hold you, like you hold me.
And you can feel safe in my arms.
I can rock you to sleep like you did for me.
It's okay to wake up, terrified, from a nightmare.
You can cry.
You can shake. I'm here. I'll hold you.
I love it when you moan.
It's beautiful.
I love it when you show me emotion.
You're you. You're human. I wanna see that.
**** what the world thinks a man should be.
Yes, you are a man but,
You're human.
You're my human.
And I love you for every part of you.
