Homeless

Stank awful mess it’s called no home 
Tired no money sleepy call me a zombie
Wishing upon so many money stars still broke
Spare change anyone spare food anything helps
Homeless I lost my baby hours after he was born 
Roof walls bed bath food I see it all in my dreams
Count backwards then see myself in a bed one day 
Come home come home come home come home home
Voices play like the tap recorder I pawned for food
My car is my safe place only home I can say is stable
Congratulations it’s a boy but baby boy is home in heaven I didn’t give him that home he picked it 
Homeless with pains that stab me with no remorse 
Eyes on me and my soul I can’t say for sure but help
I thank you god being alive I walk the path for a new life
True to yourself you once walked my shoes pray for me 
Night night sleep tight with one open homeless fears 
1,2,3,4 open my eyes 
Still in my car I’ll make a wish again tomorrow 
Scars bullets bandaids all apart of the skin on my body 
Reach for the moon even if you miss you will land among the stars
Daily stride it will be me in a bed and tears bleed me to my joy of going by the wicked unharmed 
Homeless is just my everyday war I don’t stop fighting until I sign my lease.
