Panhandling

Post by creativesoul » September 6th, 2017, 5:49 pm

I ran away from home to New Orleans
Lived in places that were Day labor
My life was turbulent
To say the least
I sought to tame the beast

I never forgot what it felt like to be homeless
Panhandling in the street
I know what it is like to stand for many hours
On a freeway on ramp
I had no idea why I had to live that way
Could not live with my mother one more day
31 years later we are friends
Omg I had to make amends
Those days rose like a strange ghost
When I thought those things through

I was no longer blue
Knew I made the right choices
Even if no one rejoices
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

I tried I did
Like a kid
That wanted love
