A candid moment
Of a stranger
Looking for hope
You can’t see
The cardboard shelter
You can’t see
Faces that look away from him
You can’t see
The ones that try to push him down
But he still looks
Towards tomorrow
And he keeps
Looking for work
Looking to belong
Looking for food
Looking for his chance
At a brighter future

Heartbreaking poem.
It is a heartbreaking place to be.
I agree!
Mesmerising poem. Touch the heart the way the pain is expressed.
I am glad you liked it, thanks for commenting!
