Homeless

Hanging around here, nowhere to go
Ominous darkness, zero below

Many will pass by, turning their head
Enveloped by warmth, when kind words are said

Liquor, it fills me, takes me away
Escorting me back, to that happier day

Shallow are many who cast judgement on sight
Seeking out refuge, praying I'll be alright
