Homeless But Strong


The life of homelessness is hard I know because I too am homeless Being looked on by people as misfits When we are human like them We sleep through the weather We get up and try our best everyday We are homeless but strong I know this because everyday is a battle I go to college now and am still homeless But I know if I was able to be homeless For my high school year and graduate You can too I'm still fighting and showing that We as homeless people can accomplish We are strong and are able Even in the most hardest times It is hard but I got through it and am still fighting I'm fighting everyday to be happy Even when days get me down But I see all I accomplished And know things will get better So to all the homeless Look at all you gone through You are still here fighting You are strong You are capable of anything We are Homeless but Strong!!

I highly appreciate your comment :) I hope more people will see this and just have a knowing that any one can do it cuz its not easy but everyone is capable of anything

This is an amazingly heartfelt poem, and you tell a story which could be told from the perspective of pain and suffering with the perspective of power and strength, which is something a lot of people could use a little more of. Great attitude and great writing!
