Homeless

Homeless is my name I sleep in shame. I lost it all in a blink of an eye, all I do is cry. Homeless is my name. People stare an laugh make fun of an run this life I live is not fun. I rummage through garbage you see, to find just a crumb to eat, I thirst so much my mouth is dry, sometimes I just wish I'd die. I lost it all at the hands of others A wreckage so big that it took them all away from me. My wife an two sons was all I had now there all gone an I'm so very sad. So when you pass by, don't laugh at me because you don't know me. You don't know the pain I bare so don't stop an stare. This is the life I was given So remember this good, the next time you pass by That life can be taken in a blink of an eye this may be you an I'll be standing on the other side.
