Traumatization
The homeless shelter charged us rent,
Requiring it to be paid
As soon as the bed had been made,
Unitl another passed week went.
My final fortune had been spent
A week before my head was laid,
Temporarily where we stayed,
In that place where we had been sent.
Zoo animals felt more at home,
Allowed to move around for free.
Therefore, we were both forced to roam
In the open, without a fee.
Over the streets, we had to comb,
Not sure where the next stop would be.
