Homelessness MAG
My home can be
everywhere
or nowhere.
My daily meals
consist
of anything or
nothing.
My knick-knacks
and baubles
are the clothes
I
wear.
My money
is
only what
others
give me.
I am a being.
I am human.
I am homeless.
If only people
could see
where I stand.
and
help me
through
this all.
Will this loneliness
ever end?
Will I begin
a
new life?
Does
anyone
care?
Because
I
am here.
I
am
real.
I
cannot
be ignored.
I am a person.
I am alive.
And...
I am homeless. n

i agree with you alot of people dont care about them and make fun of them because their homeless people
Im glad Im not the only one who thinks this way. Wen i say stuff like this to my friends, they just say stuff like "who cares. we dont kno them, and theyr wierd. why should we care about them?" and so im glad we have the same opinion about the homeless

That's a ridiculous argument, but strangely I still agree with you. There are many different ways to write poetry, not just a set one.

The poem is simple, complete and written in a manner, that when read silently or spoken, envokes feeling and a depth of understanding. I hope I have your permission to read it at the end of a luncheon to initiate a project to make sleeping bags for the homeless. Thank you for your thoughts. Blessings to you and continue writing.

Dannng, all you people are mean, sure you're entitled to your own opinions... I think that your poem was thoughtful, I do agree with the interesting line breaks part though. People should NOT judge other people's poetry, because the true purpose comes from the author, and everything has a purpose.

Honestly, I feel you could have expressed what's going on in better language to make us FEEL for the homeless...such as daily struggles, more emotion...you could talk about how some people throw fits when they don't get the laptop they want, their phone is too "fat and ugly" their jeans make their butt look big...and "you" are homeless. honestly, it's not that great. it sounds like you wrote it in 10 minutes. the line breaks are nice, but otherwise...it doesn't stand out much as a fantastic poem.

interesting use of line breaks, but besides that it's not too too great. i'd give it a 6.68 out of 10. but that's just my opinion

“Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it's not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I've got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.”
