I’m a drunken tom cat
Staggering through the alley
I see stars
Black against the night sky
Haunting this ever present silence.
I’m the ugly wretch
Begging on the street
With this ever present hunger
No food to eat
No kind souls to meet.
I’m the love sick teenager
Sporting my heart on my sleeve
Praying for the prince
That will never come.
I’m the abandoned child
Hoping for a home
Wishing for a family
Praying for a love they never had before.
I’m the fool on a pack of cards
Picking paths that aren’t theirs to walk
Causing laughter when there is only pain.
