Homeless

by Curry   Feb 24, 2007


A teenage girl,
Only 16 years old.
Just trying to make it in this world,
While being stuck out in the cold,
With no one there to hold.
She hates being homeless,
Her life is nothing but a mess.
All because her mom was a drugee,
And beat her constantly.
Her dad was an alcoholic,
He said its something he just cant fix.
Her home was a place she just couldn't stay,
She had no choice but to runaway.
Now shes stuck on the streets,
No floor under her feet.
No roof over her head,
Sometimes she thinks it would be better if she was dead.
She just wishes she wasn't always alone,
She hopes one day she'll find a home.
Where she has a family thats loving,
A home where its cozy,
With people to talk to so she wont be so lonely.
Then she would no longer spend her nights crying,
She would no longer feel like dieing.
But for now having a home is nothing but a dream,
And from the way it looks thats all it ever will be,
At least,thats the way it seems.

    Well written and good usage of emotions. hard hitting and straight forward. alot of people can some how relate to longing for a "home". not always in the convienal sense but in a mental sort of way. like a home is where you make it/where the heart is. good work. (:
