I have a Choice.  

No matter what someone else says or does. 

I Am still optimistic.

Homelessness

Homelessness is a difficult life

It’s a bit cold outside

While other days it’s too hot

Layered clothes to keep warm at night - when cold

Layered in the day - to store - until it’s cold outdoors

No shelter to live

No place to store life-items

Too many to count in one place

Tents of all kinds

Or - Just sleeping bags - if privileged

Despite - it all

Smiles and laughs are throughout the day

But tears and fears are part of the day as well

Homelessness is a difficult life

Move-out - they say

Where to go? - But that is part of the day

Moving - again and again

Bikes-carts-buggies-it’s all the same

No place for life- items

Yes – some may use drugs just to help the days move along

Mothers-fathers-brothers-sister-uncles-aunts-cousins and friends

Living on the streets - Alone

Alone with others – that are seen as family within the outdoors

Homelessness is a difficult life.
