The Street

You take a step form laying on the ground...
you weakly stand up..
Youslowly look around
You are alone in a place co0ld and empty...
You feel so out of place.
Today you pray something will change..
At the end of the day..
You find yourself going down on you knees..
From a full day..
of rejection and self angony..
You wrap yourself up in the saftey in your..
Own arms closing your eyes ...
Hoping for a place to call your own.

Much too many, Amanda. This tells a story of hopelessness. I've seen it and wondered why. God Bless. Vince
