"I AM" poetry
I am hungry and dirty
I wonder if I'll ever get a home
I hear crickets chirping
I see me living on the streets forever
I want a loving family
I am hungry and dirty
I pretend to have a friend
I feel sad and lonely
I touch a full and tasty meal
I worry I'm not going to be here tomorrow
I cry about being lonely
I am hungry and dirty
I understand I don't have any money
I say I will make it some day
I dream of living in a house with a family
I try to make friends
I hope my life change one day
I am hungry and dirty
By Chauntreal
I am lonely and scared
I wonder will I be safe until the next day
I hear complete silence
I see total darkness
I want a family to take care of me
I am lonely and scared
I pretend to be very rich
I feel very satisfied
I touch but can not feel
I worry that someone would attack me
I cry when I see other kids with their family
I am lonely and scared
I understand that God will make a way for me
I say thank you Jesus
I dream I would get out of the streets
I try to keep strong and survive
I hope I find a family
I am lonely and scared
Poem By: Charles
I am homeless and dirty
I wonder if I will ever have a home
I hear loud sound
I see a home in front of me
I want a home
I am homeless and dirty
I pretend I got food
I feel a soft bed to lay in
I touch but I can't feel
I worry about someone coming to kill me
I cry about an home
I am homeless and dirty
I understand that I need money and a home
I say I will get a home
I dream that I have a home
I try to imagine some money and a home
I hope I get a car
I am homeless and dirty
By: Clyde
I am hungry and dirty
I wonder will I stay poor forever
I hear my family in my house
I see me on Christmas in a machine
I want some money to buy anything
I am hungry and dirty
I pretend that I was never homeless
I feel that I am in my bed sleep
I touch my house and my belongings
I worry that someone might beat me up
I cry when people mess with me
I am hungry and dirty
I understand I will never get a home
I say I'm going to get some money
I dream that one day I will have a family
I try to find food and shelter
I hope people start giving me charity
I am hungry and dirty

I am dirty& smelly
I wonder if I will make it threw the night
I hear drums
I see angels
I want food
I am dirty & smelly
I pretend I have a friend
I feel cold & heart broken
I touch a fire place
I worry about my parents
I cry because I don't think I will make it
I am dirty & smelly
I understand God loves me
I say Lord please help me
I dream of a warm home of my own
I try to stay strong
I hope for a nice mobile home
I am dirty & smelly

I am hungry and homeless
I wonder if there is a place for me
I hear my family laughing
I see a table full of food
I want a big white house
I am hungry an homeless
I pretend that I am by a fireplace
I feel satisfied about my bedroom
I touch my pet dog
I worry about my safety
I cry because I don't have a better home
I am hungry and homeless
I understand that I don't have these things
I say I will strive for the best
I dream of a job that I might own
I try to get a job but things doesn't work out
I hope I have a house and a job one day
I am hungry and homeless

Thinking Like a Homeless Person
I am cold and dirty
I wonder will I ever get a family
I hear people laughing at me
I see rats crawling on me
I want a home
I am cold and dirty
I pretend to talk to friends
I feel sad and empty
I touch a thanksgiving dinner
I worry whether or not someone cares for me
I cry because I am lonely
I am cold and dirty
I understand I don't have a family and friends
I say that I will have a family someday
I dream of being in my own home
I try to believe in myself and life
I hope to make a friend
I am cold and dirty

I am tired and hungry
I wonder will I ever have a home
I hear my family playing
I see birds in the air
I want to have food
I am tired and hungry
I pretend to have friends
I feel weak
I touch the door of my house
I worry about my family
I cry because I have no home
I am tired and hungry
I understand I have no home
I say I will try to get a home
I dream of having a home
I try to get a job
I hope to have friends
I am tired and hungry

I am dirty and smelly
I wonder will I always be homeless
I hear my family laughing
I see food on my table
I want a home
I am dirty and smelly
I pretend I have fresh food and clean clothes
I feel warm covers over my body
I touch food on a table
I worry will I ever get shelter
I cry because I don't have a home
I am dirty and smelly
I understand I don't have a home
I say I want a home and family
I dream that I will have a house
I try to imagine a house
I hope I get a home
I am dirty and smelly

I am sad and lonely
I wonder why I'm dying to live when I'm living to die
I hear laughter of the people staring as the pass
I see my warm comfy bed all made up
I want a normal, peaceful life
I am sad and lonely
I pretend I am cooking in my hi-tech kitchen not in a garbage can
I feel so happy there in my house
I touch every piece of furniture
I worry I will die the way
I cry because I'm always in pain
I am sad and lonely
I understand why the world is cruel to me
I say things will get better
I dream someday I will have my own home and personal life
I try to stay positive
I hope I survive this life to see a better one for me
I am sad and lonely
