Homeless

I was looking out my window The rain was hitting hard My rent was near, it brought me fear No work to be had The time had come to pay the sum No mercy no chat bag packed I was looking in the window the rain hitting hard What just happened feeling sad Homeless hopeless feelings running through My cold wet veins

What an awful feel you well expressed. Homelessness is without reason, but grow it does and all need to realize it could happen to anyone. I enjoyed the poem, but never will I enjoy the subject so desperately needing fixed. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
