Why Wont Someone Help?

by Jenni Marie   Oct 12, 2006


As i sit here on this cold street
I wonder how i got here
I'm cold and shivering
and I am full of fear.

I have nothing,
except the clothes on my back
All i want is a home
Unfortunately, this i lack.

I'm hungry and cold
Tears are forming in my eyes
People walk by me quickly
as I rest my head in my hands and sigh.

I don't know what to do
I really don't have a clue
I am shaking and trembling
and my lips are turning blue.

Homelessness isn't fun
I wish i could go back in time
I don't know if I am even going to live
Don't know if i really will be fine.

I used to have hopes and dreams
I used to have friends
But now, it seems
I pray my life to end.

My clothes are filthy
My hair is full of dirt
And every single day
I am in emotional hurt.

People walk by
Casting a disgusted glance at me
I want to shout at them
'Don't look at me that way, this isn't how I want to be!'

Every day i ask myself
'Why did this happen, Why?'
And each day i feel
A stronger desire to die.

How i wish someone would help me
If only they knew what i felt, if only they could see!
Soon my body will weaken
I guess I will finally be beaten.

    I love this one ... it can be taken two ways .. i could be the way some one may feel as if they are homeless because of the way they are treated or some one actually in this sitution

    You are definately a really talented writer. This poem was wonderful and so very sad. You have a way of expressing your emotions and thats what makes your poetry wonderufl to read. Great flow, nicely done. These two stanza's would have to be my favorite:

    "I used to have hopes and dreams
    I used to have friends
    But now, it seems
    I pray my life to end.

    My clothes are filthy
    My hair is full of dirt
    And every single day
    I am in emotional hurt."

    Those lines really got to me. Don't ever stop writing. 5/5
