Scared and alone with no place to go,

Trying to keep warm from the fall of the snow.

My tummy how it rumbles as I have nothing to eat,

finding a snack in the trash was a treat.

My shoes filled with holes and no jacket to wear,

looking around the world seems not to care.

Job it was lost just a short time back,

it all fell apart in one small great crack.

I have gone to all places but no help is there,

how did this happen with no one to care.

I am lost and alone without a solution,

so on the streets I will live with all the pollution.

If only things were like they used to be,

holding onto that job that was really the key.

No education strong enough to keep me afloat,

but time don’t go backwards I can just write in this note.

I wish so much I had some place to go,

and end this nightmare so that I could grow.
