Here I Sit

Spat and kicked at
verbally abused,
treated like dirt
i have been abused

Overpowering stench
stomach churning smell
ragged torn clothes
this is my shell

Sitting and begging
here on this bench
no-one stops
because of the stench

Hungry lonely homeless
nowhere to go
here i sit all alone
i thought you should know
