You Could Be Me

You could be me I stand here as you just pass me by You walk past not even a glance and I ask myself why? Everyone is always looking for someone in need of help I am not standing here with this backpack to better my health I and others like me are among your kind If you look closer at us the similarities between us you will find So many of us were just like you in the past So many more of us will come we are not the last Lives fall apart day after day Avoiding poverty for some there is no way Fact is you could become me before I could become you Then others would judge you like me they always do They will categorize you as homeless and treat you as lazy People will cross the road because they think you are crazy People will run, hide and avoid any chance to see That anyone could end up on the streets like me They can run and Hide but they can never avoid The fact that there is no warning before life is destroyed Then you like I will hope someone see you instead of passing you by We are not invisible we are just like all of you we Live and we Die
