Reflections and opposites, - October 14th 2022, 10:15 PM

This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

I've a roof over my head,
A place to sleep,
Others are forgotten,
Left for dead,
I've a pillow,
They've a stone slab,
I've a place to sleep,
They've a cardboard box,
I've cupboards of food,
They've begged for every scrap,
My life isn't great
But theirs is worse,
I'll open up my purse,
Pop in a few pennies in their cap,
I'll hope they get somewhere safe,
As I sleep in my bed,
Their on the streets cold and no where to rest their head,
Their forgotten
I am too
We've both a story to tell,
We're both human
Just I have a home
While the streets they roam..


'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''

This is really thought provoking!


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

Really great job with writing this! Although you and the homeless people have opposite lives, your struggles are still the same. Thanks for sharing!
