Homelessness MAG
My home can be
everywhere
or nowhere.
My daily meals
consist
of anything or
nothing.
My knick-knacks
and baubles
are the clothes
I
wear.
My money
is
only what
others
give me.
I am a being.
I am human.
I am homeless.
If only people
could see
where I stand.
and
help me
through
this all.
Will this loneliness
ever end?
Will I begin
a
new life?
Does
anyone
care?
Because
I
am here.
I
am
real.
I
cannot
be ignored.
I am a person.
I am alive.
And...
I am homeless. n

I mostly write a lot of free verse, although I just submitted a poem that was really structured with a pretty intense rhyme scheme. It's actually been a while since I wrote a ton of poetry and fiction, and I recently started writing regularly again.
Are you a writer, too, or more a photography person? I saw you have some photos up, but then again, I have a couple photos on the site, and I don't consider myself a photographer at all. ;)

Haha no, I was actually talking to Tucker. It just bothers me when people get all rude and self-righteous about grammar and spelling. If it matters that much to you, why not channel that energy into making your own posts flawless? That's what I do. ;) There's really no need to be that rude, no matter how bad the typos or actual errors are.

The line breaks were very affective and I thought it was an overall very powerful poem although it did feel a bit like it hadn't been proof read or anything. But hten again sometimes poems are best when they are jsut raw emotion- great job! and keep writing

Some people *are* bad at spelling, but that looks more like a typo to me. By the way, if you're going to bash someone else's grammar and spelling, please at least make sure your own grammar and spelling are flawless.
