Homeless

I spend my days wandering
I spend my nights in fear
Wondering and pondering
How it is that I got here

Living without shelter
Is more than no roof overhead
It’s the loss of safety and security
And sometimes wishing I were dead

Every day a struggle
Hungry, tired, feeling unseen
Being treated as less than human
Just because my clothes aren’t clean

Not only is my belly empty
My heart feels hollow too
You should see the way people look at me
I wish they only knew

You don’t know my story
How I was once like you
I had it all together
And then it all fell through

So have a little compassion
And some kindness in your eyes
Remember when you look at me
That I am God in disguise
