Homelessness

Homelessness

A Poem by Dawn McKinney

Lying in the cold, dark night
Breath's fog fills the air
Fingers become numb from the chills
People walk by throwing trash
Spitting and hollering
I'm cold, I'm lost, I'm dying.

Haven't found a cure for this
I can't believe this world exists
I shout for help as I find the way
Homelessness

I close my eyes and try to sleep
I'm kept awake by anger's weak
Don't take me now
I'm not ready to go
Give me yet another chance

Haven't found a cure for this
I can't believe this world exists
I shout for help as I find a way
Homelessness

My mind is numb
My head is empty
My heart falls apart
I feel so weak
I'm losing touch
With who I was before
I can't believe it's come to this

Haven't found a cure for this
I can't believe this world exists
I shout for help as I find the way
Homelessness

Even in the first lines, the situation become heartbreaking and vivid. This is the kind of poem that could change the world if shown to the right people. I can't even describe it, but just know that you have created a masterpiece that I will not be able to forget.
