Strange stares from across the street? Nothing I can do about that but just take a seat. I try and try just to get by But instead I get judged and criticized from that guy. These people around me create my backstory Making me unsatisfactory. Don’t ask me if I steal, Don’t ask me if I deal. I want to keep safe, before it’s too late, But I guess I will just have to wait.

I am sorry for anyone who is struggling through homelessness. My love is sent to you and your families. Please be aware of the people around you because you never know who could get hurt.
