Where Poetry Lives
since 2009
Home
Inside the heart is where the home lies
Organization takes place of physical structure... in the mind
Rarely does someone notice & say or do something about it
It seems to be the opposite
Accusing glares
Disgusted stares when they know you have no permanent place to sit
What has she done to make this happen?
Just sloppy and careless
But
Most of the women without homes
Can show you what the definition of brave is
Their walks weren't walks of calm or relaxation
More like sprints, dodges & back hand springs of evasion
Evading the harsh, firm reality of being a female
In this world, in this society
Making self, bills, children their priority
Loving over those who need it the most
Sacrificing wants for needs and moving coast to coast
It wasn't intentional or even a permanent change
But when you're aiming, the target sometimes is just out of range
These women adjust, reset and keep pushing
Even when at the lowest point
They still have heart to cushion
The blow from the blow that landed upon those
Her, she, sis, mommy
Mrs., Professor, Head Nurse of Oncology
What happened?
Lots did, but she's still who she was
Give her resources, faith and watch what she does
She'll bounce back and clean up the whole mess
Don't think you know her story because you've seen her homeless
