I have a rather lengthy collection of poems that I have written the past 3 and a half years, some in a journal, others just as Facebook statuses or something that I found recently and pasted to a note sheet, all written at various times. So I can't quite recall when this was written. If i had to decide. I think it was composed the Christmas break of my 8th grade year, upon my visit to San Francisco, California to visit family.. seeing all of the "bums" and "grungies" struck me. How people treated them was less than respectable and i felt for them. hence this writing.
