One Way Path
Riddle with rocks dirt and leaves
I walk though times of trouble
Expressing no doubt I am lost
Running away from the wind
Rain pouring down upon me
Empty wallet heavy with burden
The path I walk leads one way
Trouble is all I find at the end
Nights are full of pain days the same
Traveling down this lost path
Scraps of food fill a tin cup
Watching others in a window
Cold at night cardboard for warmth
Park is closed the ally is full my eyes heavy
No place for my head to lay
Fingers numb feet frozen no socks
When will this one way path end?
