Homelessness MAG
My home can be
everywhere
or nowhere.
My daily meals
consist
of anything or
nothing.
My knick-knacks
and baubles
are the clothes
I
wear.
My money
is
only what
others
give me.
I am a being.
I am human.
I am homeless.
If only people
could see
where I stand.
and
help me
through
this all.
Will this loneliness
ever end?
Will I begin
a
new life?
Does
anyone
care?
Because
I
am here.
I
am
real.
I
cannot
be ignored.
I am a person.
I am alive.
And...
I am homeless. n

I really think the structure of your poem suits your subject matter very well. Your portrayal of the arbitrary-ness of availabiliy of homes, money, food, etc. was perfect: you brought across the uncertainty of it all so well. I loved it! Great job.

this poem is...amazing. you rock. that's totally the thing that hurts lots of people - they dont see others as real people, just like, props or something.

STUPID. Maybe she was writing this in the perspective of a homeless person, so that people can see that homeless people are people too

The poem is dramtic because of the broken lines, well done:). The poem is relatable.

Or maybe not...the way I was interpreting it, the poem seemed redundant but now I get it. Depends on what message you are trying to send.

Sounds like what some dark-voiced commentator would say over a commercial for a thriller. But halfway through I lost you, and it was the same thing over again. Anyway...good job!
