Hopeless, Heartbroken, and Homeless
All these thoughts trapped inside my brain. Visions, delusions, writhing in pain; As I scream out in vain. I keep calling your name, Only to be met by silence again. Why can't you hear me? I just wanted you near me. How can you not see? I'm not as bad as I seem. It just all fell apart, Almost at the start. As soon as I...

Troubles Are God's Messengers I've Been Homeless
Whenever troubles come my way. I turn to God and begin to pray. There is nothing he can't do. And he always has come through. With God I'll never lose the fight. Because he always makes things right. Whether the battle is people or my mind. I ask Him to fight for me every time. Let me share a fact that's true. God does...

O! Same place, same time morning chill and cracks of sun curled in dark doorway her shape, her pulse same line Same doorway she calls her home ‘tween supplements west and bath bombs east colours waft and mingle, stenches wrap early morning baking under all Breathing rasping cocoon of red cloth silent breaths thru curved teeth flicking thoughts, cloudlike slip ear to ear passing dreams, rapid cut,...

Home
“Wherever I lay my hat”, he said Inferring home was there. A state of belonging bound in felt Anchored in darkest millinery. He had his hat; his hat was home. The putrid hostel beds and often doorways Always home to him, Never mind the ice-cold fingers, Ripping at his worn sleeping bag Storm after storm assaulted the city. He was warm within himself. He had his...

I Was Homeless Christmas 2003!
It was cold and freezing in the city of Denver. A day in my life I will always remember. The sound of sirens wailing all around. The police had gathered near a body on the ground. A man with no home froze there during the night. It filled me with sadness to behold such a...

Verse 1 His coat is torn his shoes are thin The cold cuts deep beneath his skin Little boy coughs small hands that shake Winter's breath is much to hard To hard to take. Verse 2 Sidewalk echoes silent prayers People pass but no one cares Cardboard kingdom borrowed time Every step is a mount- Mountain climbed. Chorus And the city turns away Like they...

Premium Member MORE WILDLIFE MADE HOMELESS
We see but grey where once was green As bulldozers now scrape, Turning a joyful rural scene Into joyless landscape. The area was green-belt land With forest and pasture But as our numbers still expand We will invade nature. And so that farmland must give way To high profit housing. Farming that land has had its day. Let the plunder begin....

Without a Door
Footsteps fade where sidewalks end, stories told in weathered skin. Cardboard kingdoms, borrowed ground, a life unseen, without a sound. The city hums, its lights embrace, yet shadows slip between its grace. Hands once held, now pockets bare, eyes that search, but find no stare. The wind knows names the world forgets, whispers woven in regrets. A resting place beneath the sky— another night, still asking...
