Lost (A Free Verse Poem.) Comments

every street person has a story to tell but few are willing to listen

This poem depicts the stark cruelty of being homeless. So much morbid but brilliant imagery 'acid filled glares', 'garbage left to go stale' 'labelled a leper amongst the sick' and 'doorway of despair'. Others very often don't understand the hopeless depression the homeless feel as they wander aimlessly through day and night. Excellent work! 10

What a way to express being lost to feel despair in a world of poverty. Touching.
