Home on The Streets

Home on the streets Safe Calm, relaxed, talking, laughing, Nested, watching a movie, Secure, protected, safe a tortoise under its shell, Inside our home. Danger Sitting on the concrete, Invisible like a ghost, Silence, Ignored, Pain like a thousand needles, Piercing my skin, On the street, Outside. Relax Plush, soft, feathered. “Squish, Squish” my bed hugged me, My bed, a thousand angel feathers, Feeling the pressure float away, On my bed, Inside our home Stress Worry, Pain, tension, Stress is a thunderstorm brewing, Rumbling with intensity, Outside.
