The Homeless Life

The homeless life I have nowhere to go, I am on a constant roam I live by the motto, wherever I lay my head is home From time to time I stay in a shelter But usually not for very long, because I cannot abide by the rules That is why right at the moment.... I AM HOMELESS The streets are not safe for me But right now I have nowhere else to be I do not sleep very well Living on the streets is a living hell But right now I have no other choice, I AM HOMELESS Into the streets is where I go To live with friends, and even foes Forcing me to drop to my knees It's like being stung by a thousand bees I hate to have to say... I AM HOMELESS People think that they know me so well But they really don't, they weren't even there when I fell Fell to my knees in tears Asking God to give me back my years Years that I have wasted away But I have had to pay People want me to give in and say... I MUST BE HOMELESS But that is not true, that is just a ploy I can know peace, happiness, and joy I can stop all the despair in my life And cut into negativity like a knife For at some point in my life....
