I sit in the cold
And take a deep breath
For I have nowhere to go
Nowhere to be
For everyone I know is dead or gone
Betrayed by friends
Left behind by family
No one to trust 
No one to talk to 
This is the first time
I have nowhere to be or go or anything to do 
I sit and take in
The cold air and the sky
Maybe I have a purpose 
But it is far away
I get up
In hopes of finding something
Somewhere
And leave
Leave everything behind
Hoping for a future
Any future 
It gives me
Something to live for
