Analysis of Homeless
William Rosenthal 1976 (NY)
A world so big , but yours so small.
A Child inside trying to be grown with no true definition of it.
The weather, it plays with your heart.
Tears can't fall because it opens unknown threats, pride has lied.
Find someone, anyone, please help.
You can't accept handouts.
No one know your situation.
Love can fix it all, but it's too late.
It's not there.
Emptiness.
Hopelessness.
Homeless.
I miss myself.
