Homeless people were on the news not to long ago...I weep...

Sarah’s Origin
My eyes stare straight,
fixated on something in the distance,
humming a song that would send chills,
if you ever got the chance to listen.

his moans...

Just my alarm, I hit the button
Get up and go to the bathroom
I brush my teeth with my toothbrush
Scratchy, painful bristles
Toothpaste that makes me sick
With the strong...
