Street Lessons

Sleeping on the street
Knowing I can't go home
I'm a piece of meat
Or so they think
Taking money
For doing things
I can't bear to say
In a crowd, still alone
My fall from grace
Made complete
By self hate
So freaking tired
Not knowing the future
No plan to know
Where I'm going
Leaving solitude life
Quitting school
Kicked from the front door
Not obeying the rules
I'm such a fool
There is more than this
Boredom drives me crazy
But endless walking
Is exhausting
Could become more
With no childhood
In the place that they lived
They lived there
I just lingered
In that graceless
Merciless home
