Cold

A poor homeless men in a winter trying to survive the cold.

I’m all alone, walking in a snow.

I have no food and hot chocolate.

I have no fire to keep myself warm,

I'm very tired from this freeze.

I started to sneeze very loudly,

This winter had gotten me very sick.

 I needed get out of this cold.

I had been out here since I was 20 years old, now I’m only 50.

Nobody here to help me,

I ask for help, they kept on ignoring me.

Every winter I tried to survive this cold.

I told them I was dying from this winter.

They still kept on ignoring me.

I started crying,

It feels like my heart slowly dying.

I lay on the snow with my eyes closed,

Dreaming of my life on the way I used to have.

I started to freeze to death on this day.

Author's Note

I think every winter or summer, some one should help out some homeless people. Even though I been attack by a homeless guy once at work, but some of them are friendly that needed more help then everyone.

The cold of Winter killed many people. Your story is common in most big cities. I could feel the loneliness and despair in the words. Would be a bad death to freeze to death. A powerful story.

This is so true. Whenever i see them out on the side or the road or under a bridge, i always want to help them but sometimes i can't. they are people too.

This has a very sad feel to it but it is reality. Life on the street is harsh and winter only makes it deadlier. Very nice job.
