Every moment of everyday
With people all around
See their smiles
Hear their laughs
But here I am
Wondering where my smile went
Couples holding hands
Mothers loving their childern
Joyful bliss surrounds
Cheerful dreams abound
But here I am
With just a frown
Take a closer look
Around my town
Homeless all around
Children eating trash
But here I am
Walking around with my head down
Now left to wonder
They can laugh and smile
Enjoy this day and the next
Then why can't I
But here I am
Newfound hope for the next day to come

this is a GREAT poem its has emotion in it and its very sad and heart breaking but yet a VERY great write at the same time
i loved the last par.
KEEP UP THE GREAT THOUGHTSS THEY ALWAYS COME TOGETHER FOR A GREAT POEM...

there was some pedestrian rhyme, that i felt was thrown in as an afterthought. I'd nix the rhyme entirely. it'll strengthen the poem
.
the homeless are a sad bunch.
thanks for entering.
