I HUNGER

No feed I cry No compassion I starve No love I am homeless I grow weak Darkness in my eyes My body can sometimes be motionless I get Dizzy Drinking water is fizzy Dirty and not pure The world seems to spin in my head Passerby’s just walk by and ignore It’s like I am not there I am homeless, but have dreams I just imagine, I am off the streets and living in a house Not sharing the streets with anyone not even a mouse Hunger sounding loud Stomach pains daily roar Not easy to smile when your homeless and hungry My tomorrows are always stuck on today of every moment Never a pause, but always with a cause No one knows the struggles until one feels it in reality I feel sick at times, but no medical care to remedy I could die on the streets Tormented full of bitterness Words of evil form within my tongue My shouts to the world in feed me, but stays on starve Rain falls feeling like a cleanse When it is cold, the Sun brings the warmth Never know where my tomorrow will become Lonely on the streets Nowhere to turn Eating garbage of food thrown away by people and restaurants It becomes competition between me and stray animals Homeless becomes a reality check being survival Hunger mounts heavy Holding steady All I can do is dream as that is all I have Maybe one day I won’t be homeless and have a hearty meal Who am I fooling? Homeless until Now it is just another day being welcomed on the pavement of life Hunger always on my mind Homeless nothing Walking Embracing in my own thoughts Pavement alone to nowhere.
