Homeless sister



You can get grabbed
By theives.
 When your on the go
Living a life of the lonely..
But I am the youngest of four

Two sisters one brother
I still am happy that I have my mother
This is the link I need


Late night decision
drove past your house..
My feelings strong..

Knowing my phone charge didn't last
It's a life as a homeless
Like if I knew where my hope is
have shelter it's a necessity
Know you just can't show up..

My sis says to call first

What am i to do when my phone dies
keep driving instead..

Exhausted I want to pull over and sit at your door

I won't knock
Or intrude
Just in the area and wanted ro drop by


Family ain't like it should be
Not like on the TV

I'll end up across town
Just to go to a place
Welcomed

My honesty
Bent them out of shape
Got them to
Look down upon me

Written all on your face

I've been honest about using
No sugar to coat you
But sweetie call first Don't just drop by

Don't get me wrong
 I'm really loving

Went down a wrong path
And now I'm ugly
But then
I'll tell you what
It's a trust thing i get it..
But family
Bring out your light.
Get sum sleep in ur bed

Clear your mind your head
Guess not tonight
I'll be at my friends
Casue calling I would of

If I had. My phone bars
Even o. 5 percent
Yet it died n I have no place to plug in..
So I'll get it at a far away house
My friend.

    So many of us have no shelter to call home or someone's couch to crash on. But stay strong, don't give up. And when your ready to leave that needle behind. You will find that place you will call home.
