Why do you all look at me that way when u past by . im just a person siting here trying to figure out where i go from here . why do you all whisper like i cant hear yall. Ibhave feelings to . im sorry for being homeless yet i fell down and im trying to stand back up yet everyone walks away turns their backs and forgets that i didnt ask for this to happen. Nor have i ever thought life would come to this. It only takes one person i have been told to show how to pay it forward. Yet what are we showing one another to if one person tries n others talks down on the homeless. Im not the only one out here without a home n some have kids and cant send the kids to granparents or the other parent , like have been able to do . yet no where to turn no one to turn to . yall ask about family well if they were here maybe i wouldnt be like this . one day i met this lady named JIll . she is someone who cares n has helped alot of people . i finally gave in and went to a warm house she has opened . i feel more at home here and like i have family then i ever have . yet now im being told someone wants to shut it down . well couple questions what about us ? Where do we go in this cold ? How do we get a hand up if everyone knocks us down or knocks down the one person that can n is willing to help all or us ? Being homeless isnt what i want or how i want this life . so plz listen as we speak and say dont leave us out in the cold on a street . plz we want help n we need help . why cant yall hear us . i didnt know we were invisible n had no vioce yet no one can see or hear me as i cry . none of us want this life on the streets. So dont judge us by being homeless .
