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

People, everyone can have their own opinion of what is good poetry, and what isn't, chill. i prefer a different style of poetry than this, but the heart and idea is in the right place.

Are you really homeless? I am very sorry to hear that! The poem was great. Maybe you could sell your poems for money, then you could eat.

I really think this is eye opening for some people who forget that the person laying on the sidewalk or lives in a shelter is a person, has feelings, and deserves respect and dignity.

This poem is so beautiful! I was listening to Someone Who Cares by Three Days Grace and it fit perfectly!! Great Combo, and you're a great poet! Definetley loved how it flowed!! :D
Beautifully written :) I love the way it flows so nicely. It's short but the meaning and messages behind the words are deep and long lasting. This poem was amazing, I could totally relate even though I've never been homeless but the emotions I did share. You're not alone, keep on writing :) <3
