Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be homeless?
Our member, Tracey, offers us an intimate look at the several months he spent without permanent housing:
By: Tracey B.
Laying hard and sleeping light
Living like an animal alongside the road
From the early night to morning light
Living like an animal alongside the road
Feeling like I was run down old
Sleeping like an animal alongside the road
One day at a time I stayed alive
Other times I slept hard and cold
'Cause I forgot that all important cardboard
Living like an animal alongside the road
And I survived with hard strife
Living like an animal alongside the road.
I was worse than an animal alongside the road
It was the hardest life I’ve ever known
Living like an animal alongside the road
It was long-term pain and torment
Living like an animal alongside the road
Worse than an animal alongside the road.
