Street Child

by Steph   Dec 23, 2004


She looked around desperatly
trying not to see
the happy little children
grinning joyfully

As she sat down, all alone
slowly chilled to the bone
everyone was ignoring her
like they would a stone

She knew she shouldn't cry
seeing that darkened sky
she'll need to find somewhere warm to stay
otherwise she could die

She saw children hurrying home
while she slept on a hunk of foam
how come they had a safe family
while she just had to roam

The weather was now fierce and wild
nothing about her was even filed
she wondered, shivering whyy nobody cared
about a stupid street child

She saw a boy laugh and sneer
looking at her stupid gear
she wondered why even kids laughed at her
but maybe it was because of fear

Please vote and comment- will return the favor thanks :)

    This is honestly the best poem I've ever read. Because of how honest and true it sounded. I thank you so much for writing this, and expressing yourself. You have a talent little girl, you have an awesome talent. This isn't some typical poem, it's a real, vivid, imaginative poem. The tittle caught my eye, and I'm glad I ran across this. Thank you for your post about mine called Fatigued Eyes. This is def a 5/5. !!
