Invisable People... Our future.. with closed eyes. People turn away

She sat huddled up on the sidewalk

her hands were dirty and her face

need a clean and her hair was

covered in a dirty woollen hat.

He skirt was worn and had a hole in it

at the hem. And her jacket was ripped.

She was about 18years of age.

She was homeless of course.

Sitting In One of the largest City Centers

In England.

Alone, scared and afraid.

Everyone just walked past her.

To busy with their own needs

and own life to care or even to

notice her at all.

She was invisible to them all.

Except for me.

I walked over. And said Hello.

Told her my name. And she was Katie.

Her stepfather was a b*****d basically

beat her up. As she was not earning her

keep at home. And her mother couldn't

stand up to him. As he earned the money

to pay the bills. So she left.

Now on the streets. Fending for herself.

With no one else to turn to.

This was her life now.

I gave her what I could to help her.

In this day and age, this should not be

happening to anyone.

More so youngsters. They are the future.

What future. If you can not even have a

roof over your head and a safe place to live

and food in the stomach.

A sad reality of life. Nowadays...
