On the Street

Walking around with carrier bags

Clothes dirty looking like rags.

Rain soaked feet because of broken shoes

Keeping the cold out by drinking cheap booze.

Being looked at as it your dirt

It's the name your called that really hurts.

So I go to sleep in a doorway somewhere

So as you walk by please try not to stare.
