Blind(A Letter From The Homeless)
Blind(A Letter From The Homeless)
So continue on your journey,
leaving me behind.
The earth will keep on turning,
the sun will keep its shine.
Life can never worry,
its nature is much too kind.
But some are in a hurry,
making themselves blind.
Do not worry about your children,
I wont slow them to the ground.
Just tell them that I knew you,
and how I let them down.
About this poem
This is another poem I wrote when I was homeless. I intended it to be something that speaks for the homeless and not as a sort of "pity me" rant. It will come off that way a little, and definately came from bitter place.
