I'm Homeless

I'm scared, and I'm alone,
have no place to call my own.
It's cold here in this alley,
Yesterday, I had a house in the valley.

Today, I'm dirty, and hungry,
but no one will notice me.
I beg for food, something to drink,
I'm low class, is that what you think?

Last week, I had a job, had enough,
never thought I'd see times this rough.
Last week, I had clothes, food, a place,
Today all I have is this little space.

I'm so scared, never been here before,
I don't think I can take much more.
I've never felt so scared and alone,
Will I ever again have a place to call home?

I'm alone,
I'm cold, and scared,
Will you please see me here?
"Homeless...will work for food or money."
