Home Without a Home
Home
It was family game night or movie night,
It was helping me beat that one level,
It was being my little league coach,
or being my friend when I am lonely,
It was bedtime tickles,
It was the warmth of sitting next to you on the couch,
home.
Homelessness.
It’s not having a home,
no money,
no food,
no friends,
no medical help,
addictions,
cold, bad decisions,
and no place to go, why,
why,
why did you choose Homelessness?
Your homelessness stole a part of my home.
I am home although I feel your homelessness
loneliness,
cold,
and sadness.
I will take back my home to make it,
Safer,
Stronger,
Warmer
