The life of homelessness is hard
I know because I too am homeless
Being looked on by people as misfits
When we are human like them

We sleep through the weather
We get up and try our best everyday
We are homeless but strong
I know this because everyday is a battle

I go to college now and am still homeless
But I know if I was able to be homeless
For my high school year and graduate
You can too

I'm still fighting and showing that
We as homeless people can accomplish
We are strong and are able
Even in the most hardest times

It is hard but I got through it and am still fighting
I'm fighting everyday to be happy
Even when days get me down
But I see all I accomplished
And know things will get better

So to all the homeless
Look at all you gone through
You are still here fighting
You are strong
You are capable of anything

We are Homeless but Strong!!

Im takin the pic, thats my BF and my doggy is behind him

This is an amazingly heartfelt poem, and you tell a story which could be told from the perspective of pain and suffering with the perspective of power and strength, which is something a lot of people could use a little more of. Great attitude and great writing!
