I hold myself to sleep at night
And let the bed bugs get a nibble and a bite
For comfort is what it is at its moment
With a sheet too thin to solace one with warmth embracement
And wake to a morning of wake-up calls
Prepare oneself with refreshment in the refreshment room But what of the refreshing in an
half-sanitary room to groom Move on to clothe oneself with clothing of sheet residue
Lint brush of relief saves the clothes from lint bunch
Clothes at rescue
Head strong move on
Packed bag leaves one to carry baggage
Out the door, where the sun says, “Hi”
And a day’s worth of encouragement sometimes say goodbye
But what’s left of courage gets one through the day And deep inside something says, “You’re OK.”
Schedules and deadlines the usual
Time ticks away as it waits for success to catch up But how does the relationship with time and
success Help one to be at one’s best
To ever be a perfect match.
For the hustle to have success is a struggle
And the wandering is tiring.
I can’t wait to get some rest
Is one fully at peace, is one fully at happiness
from the bottom to the top.
How to get there going through so many tests
Moving to get to another level
But situation after situation can be formed to attack with stress
What we go through.
Is a life filled with toilet paper and mess?
Wipe away the excess and make sure to use the air freshener to refresh
For to find a decent breeze of pleasantness
And one finds solace in music to take away the distress
Becoming as one with the music, the message, and the artist
Taking in time moments at the library within a personal concert, fulfillment has started.
Metaphorically express what we feel and go through
Some have it worse
And some have it better
And for at the end of the day
I hold myself to sleep at night
And let the bed bugs get a nibble and bite
For comfort is what it is at its moment
I thank God I’m able to walk in and out from a roof over my head. Food is in reach
So are other necessities. But this is a part of us
This is just partial of “What We Go Through”
Being homeless.
