A day in the homeless life...

Cold nights, lonely days, nothing but these streets
We call Dope our home, the only place to feel safe
Long days, Dirty needles, that’s the day I live
Cold floors and trash everywhere, the only bed I’ve ever had
Lonely life for someone they call trash.
Chain fights, flashing lights, same shit different night
No place to run being a bum
Broken families and no home that’s all I’ve ever known
High School drop outs, Pregnant teens, jobless men, are the only friends I’ve ever had
Coated bubbles, gallon bottles, time to get to safety.
Fake friends, Older men, that’s how it’s always been
Card board boxes, and wet blankets
Pregnant woman starving; that vet that fought for our country is now fighting for his life on these streets
Fights for your rights, cops every night, does it ever end?
No love for the homeless…
Broken hearts, corrupted minds, stolen love, fucked up nights
Gun shots and Gang fights, for a normal person it would be the end of their life.
Careful who you trust because things go missing
Careful what you say, rumors spread
Fake friends; that’s what that’s called
One day, One week, One month, how long till you see that were worth more than these dirty streets
Food less nights, Shameless life, who better then to live this life?
Crazy life, Homeless nights, Do we ever get a break?
