SLEEPING ROUGH

I am on the street

No roof

Sleeping on the pavement

Once lived in a Two Bedroom Apartment

My apartment had assortments

One night there was a knock at the door

I thought should I open or ignore?

It was the Landlord

He stated, “WHERE IS YOUR RENT?”

You see, I was working, but was laid off after working for a company for 12 years, the company was doing bad

It was good bye to this lad

I was on unemployment and received my Severance

I was living off the two sources

I was the only forces

Now the sources have been exhausted

I hadn’t paid the rent in months

The Landlord evicted me at once

The Street is where I nest

Living outside is not the best

The Shelters are not for me

They are not safe you see

Pavement life

Living my own advice

The thought of home is only within me

Alone

No Family

Regrets

Homeless into endless

This is where I roam

The street I call home

My name is not known

I am nowhere to be found

Maneuvering people and car movements are my only sounds.
