“Life is Hard”

I ask myself why I live like this, so bad.

I walk the streets looking so sad.

I wish I knew how I got here,

I live my life with such fear.

I go day to day trying to protect my life,

It’s hard having people attack us with a knife.

I live outside with nothing,

Trying my hardest to keep on loving.

The weather is like ice,

But a jacket is such a large price.

I weep, weep, weep,

Thinking of how scared I am to go to sleep.

Every day I hold up a sign asking for help,

At the end of the day I begin to yelp.

Sometimes I feel sorry for myself,

When I realize no one should blame thyself.

There have been many hate crimes for people like me,

I guess to others killing the homeless is easy.

I am no harm,

But I must be to people who carry firearms.

How I got like this is unknown,

But one day I will not be so alone.

I have hopes that one day u can be safe,

And not live in a place that is so unsafe.

Life is hard,

But it is worth trying instead if living in a yard.

One day I will look back,

And remember all the smacks.

I will no longer starve,

I will begin to have a life that I can carve.

I promise to everyone that I will try,

I will learn to spread my wings and fly.
I am sorry for the people, who hate people like me,

But you will all soon see.

I am thankful for those who help me so dearly,

There are many that care and many that don’t clearly.

Becoming homeless is a horrible to live,

But one day I will soon be able to give.

Life is hard,

Mine will soon become cured.

Never give up on your dreams,

I will one day be a queen.
