Being Made Homeless



Poor ; Broken ; Lonely .
I Am Internally Crying ; But Do Not Desire For This To Show Too Much Outwardly. I Am Able To Gain Support Through Speaking.

    The local VA has offered me a place to stay…And others had also offered me assistance…Yet I have turned it all down…Some may consider me homeless seeing that I have been living in my car since November…But I find it extremely relaxing and peaceful since I left my loving faithful wife back then…Well I guess she really loves me seeing that she has not respected any of my boundaries that I have put in place…Anywho…Homelessness is a state of mind…And in America for as long as the rich continue to believe that there is no such thing as enough money…Things will only continue to get exponentially worse…Oh well…Sometimes it be that way…

      Oh…I failed to mention…I do not consider myself: Poor, broke, nor lonely…I have enough in reserve to last my until the cows come home or I receive my full military burial…Whichever may occur first…
