Thinking Homelessly

I am hungry and dirty

I wonder if I'll ever get a home

I hear crickets chirping

I see me living on the streets forever

I want a loving family

I am hungry and dirty

 

I pretend to have a friend

I feel sad and lonely

I touch a full and tasty meal

I worry I'm not going to be here tomorrow

I cry about being lonely

I am hungry and dirty

 

I understand I don't have any money

I say I will make it some day

I dream of living in a house with a family

I try to make friends

I hope my life change one day

I am hungry and dirty

Homeless

I am lonely and scared

I wonder will I be safe until the next day

I hear complete silence

I see total darkness

I want a family to take care of me

I am lonely and scared

 

I pretend to be very rich

I feel very satisfied

I touch but can not feel

I worry that someone would attack me

I cry when I see other kids with their family

I am lonely and scared

 

I understand that God will make a way for me

I say thank you Jesus

I dream I would get out of the streets

I try to keep strong and survive

I hope I find a family

I am lonely and scared

Homeless Poem

I am homeless and dirty

I wonder if I will ever have a home

I hear loud sound

I see a home in front of me

I want a home

I am homeless and dirty

 

I pretend I got food

I feel a soft bed to lay in

I touch but I can't feel

I worry about someone coming to kill me

I cry about an home

I am homeless and dirty

 

I understand that I need money and a home

I say I will get a home

I dream that I have a home

I try to imagine some money and a home

I hope I get a car

I am homeless and dirty

Homeless Poem

I am hungry and dirty

I wonder will I stay poor forever

I hear my family in my house

I see me on Christmas in a machine

I want some money to buy anything

I am hungry and dirty

 

I pretend that I was never homeless

I feel that I am in my bed sleep

I touch my house and my belongings

I worry that someone might beat me up

I cry when people mess with me

I am hungry and dirty

 

I understand I will never get a home

I say I'm going to get some money

I dream that one day I will have a family

I try to find food and shelter

I hope people start giving me charity

I am hungry and dirty

Homeless Poem

I am dirty& smelly

I wonder if I will make it threw the night

I hear drums

I see angels

I want food

I am dirty & smelly

 

I pretend I have a friend

I feel cold & heart broken

I touch a fire place

I worry about my parents

I cry because I don't think I will make it

I am dirty & smelly

 

I understand God loves me

I say Lord please help me

I dream of a warm home of my own

I try to stay strong

I hope for a nice mobile home

I am dirty & smelly

Homeless Poem

I am hungry and homeless

I wonder if there is a place for me

I hear my family laughing

I see a table full of food

I want a big white house

I am hungry an homeless

 

I pretend that I am by a fireplace

I feel satisfied about my bedroom

I touch my pet dog

I worry about my safety

I cry because I don't have a better home

I am hungry and homeless

 

I understand that I don't have these things

I say I will strive for the best

I dream of a job that I might own

I try to get a job but things doesn't work out

I hope I have a house and a job one day

I am hungry and homeless

Thinking Like a Homeless Person

I am cold and dirty

I wonder will I ever get a family

I hear people laughing at me

I see rats crawling on me

I want a home

I am cold and dirty

 

I pretend to talk to friends

I feel sad and empty

I touch a thanksgiving dinner

I worry whether or not someone cares for me

I cry because I am lonely

I am cold and dirty

 

I understand I don't have a family and friends

I say that I will have a family someday

I dream of being in my own home

I try to believe in myself and life

I hope to make a friend

I am cold and dirty

Homeless Poem

I am dirty and smelly

I wonder will I always be homeless

I hear my family laughing

I touch food on a table

Homeless Poem

I am sad and lonely

I wonder why I'm dying to live when I'm living to die

I hear laughter of the people staring as the pass

I see my warm comfy bed all made up

I want a normal, peaceful life

I am sad and lonely

 

I pretend I am cooking in my hi-tech kitchen not in a garbage can

I feel so happy there in my house

I touch every piece of furniture

I worry I will die the way

I cry because I'm always in pain

I am sad and lonely

 

I understand why the world is cruel to me

I say things will get better

I dream someday I will have my own home and personal life

I try to stay positive

I hope I survive this life to see a better one for me

I am sad and lonely
