Starving We Spread (Poem)

Starving, we spread

Through unlocked doors we rummage

Dawn is ahead

Fill the pits in our stomachs

Hygiene a low

False confidence a high

Further we go

Self destructing our lives

Pain for the pleasures

Of accomplished failure

We're here for each other

And that we make sure

For freedom costs plenty

In this system we live

So onward we struggle 

As 16 year old kids

Being homeless is difficult. We learn to appreciate the simple things when we have nothing. Thank you for the powerful poem. The strong statements create a vision of trying to survive and struggle. Thank you for the excellent poem.

A majority of my time being homeless as a youth was difficult for sure. What made it easier was the fact that there were 4 other kids the same age as me out surviving with me most the time. So many homeless youth... Thank you for reviewing.

I so adore how realistic your pieces are. And this one just got me and moved me that I couldn't even describe what I'm feeling right now. Such powerful thoughts and emotions put into words. Well-done.

I really appreciate that. You have to live things to really capture them... Thanks again for another motivating review!

"False confidence a high." Well, do I know how that is. I guess many teens can relate.

Heh, yea my little brother is reminding me of my teenage years and the `False confidence a high`. He`s 16 now, but of course no body wants to learn from the lessons of others. Thank you for the review.

We all have times such as this, however it's down to the individual as to how they reflect upon it, your reflection on such a time seems to be one of positivity striving through struggle, its very profound and a beautiful read, looking forward to checking the rest ;)
