Poem: PLEASE LISTEN

I saw the way you looked at me
And it made me want to cry
Just because I don’t have what you have
Doesn’t make you better than I
I no longer have a house to call my own
I have been left out here all alone
Don’t turn away
Please listen to what I say
I was once like you
With a family and a home
But as time went by
I lost everything I owned
Just because you have everything now
And your life seems okay
It doesn’t mean it will always be that way
So don’t be so quick
to prejudge what you don’t understand
If you were in my position
I would give you work if not a hand
Please listen to what I have said
And consider how I feel
And then please give e some work
So I can buy myself a meal
