The Posings of a Homeless Heart

Once I Posed in the mirror for hours trying to find that perfect outfit and perfect fitting shirt, was that wrong since I was getting ready to pass out food at a shelter where many had been living on the street and where still covered in dirt. I witnessed many posings while their some people that weren't dirty all, and people that didn't want to appear homeless or appear absolutely scared shitless of their own personal fall, but pose as competent and pose a threat to anyone who challenges their knowledge or wellbeing or inner relentless beast who's fight is to still one day have it all. What exactly is the right way to act or right way to pose these days after all someone has ever known or loved has been without violence or violently and without notice stripped away, Indeed I believe their is a pose for such a person who shows no signs of homelessness yet their heart clearly shows signs of decay, and that that heart holds a pose of Love and strength but is distracted by the ever changing environment and personalities that leave the heart and thought process in this massive disarray. Is it a man, woman or child that we have lost in our lives that has made the heart never to be mistaken for homeless but homesick beat weak, and is it in realizing that everything we seek out in life like money and even people are fleeding and that this could inadvertently transform us unprepared immediately into the meek. I must say that the many posings of a homeless person must and may seem to vary from country to country, city to city and town to town, But the many posings of a homeless heart is unwaivering in its not lust or Love for light but a rage against the dying of, and goes to show that the luster, strength and duality of the heart while homeless or not is a very hard thing to bring down, and this sort of strength only comes from above.
