Experiencing a homeless shelter.

Seeing my dignity FADE into obscurity, Am I who i am supposed to be? Is this all of me? Watching the CLOCK. Noticing hours Slowly slowly drip drip I sit in my corner writing in my journal. I sit in my corner waiting for my name to be Called for LINEN. I hear the din from other areas. I sit in my corner, I am not dethroned. Waiting to be called for supp I am not alone. My journal as my comforter my confidant My home. Peering through the dinge of a broken window pane. Watching for the elite parade of stars as NIGHT falls Tripping over the moon.

Sorry to all those I have taken for granted. SHAME ON ME. I promise, 2016 will be a new me. Merry Christmas!!! May the true meaning of the holiday season fill your heart and home. Always & Forever ~LINDA~

Peering through the dinge of a broken window pane, watching for the elite parade of stars as night falls tripping over the moon. Very wonderful poem expressing the heart's dignity. Your dignity has not faded in my opinion when you pen so well.
