What does this poem represent?

Question

Homeless

Mosquitoes attack my face and hands

as I try to hide under the scratchy sheets

I found in the abandoned fire House I now lay in

Sweat pouring from my body drenching my clothes

rats and roaches surround me

devoured in the stinch of mildew, ****, and p**s

keeping quiet just so strangers won't steal my innocence again

I lay their afraid next to my lover

as he sleeps I ask god why

why would i go this far just so he won't suffer everyday

I bite my tongue so i won't lose him

but the streets have clawed at my soul testing my courage

and I am too weak to fight anymore

I lay on the uncertainty of being pregnant at 17

and how will I survive if possible

I use to laugh at the homeless man

but my humor was silenced when karma kissed my future

Answer 3

Wow...

You reap what you sow, one should never laugh at a person who is down and out, you were never better than them.

Great poem, great story.

You should get this published, or perhaps even enter it into a poetry contest if you wrote it of course....

Answer 4

DUH. It's a homeless person thinking of her terrible, current situation and regretting ever laughing at people like that, before she joined them. Karma.
