I am cold
Nights on the street
Found somewhere to hide
Got nothing to eat
.
Don’t want to see anyone
Don’t want to be found
Sick of life at home
Felt so bound
.
My tummy rumbling
No money left
Got to eat something
Then I can rest
.
I leave my armchair
In a stone outhouse
To forage for food
Just like a mouse
.
To the corner shop
To browse the shelves
Beans and spaghetti
I help myself
.
Under my coat
I dart for the door
They try to stop me
I push them to the floor
.
I run back home
Shaken and scared
15 years old
My life laid bare
.
I open the can
With a rock and a knife
I eat my dinner
This is my life
.
Searching for you is a collection of poetry about love, heartbreak and happiness. A raw journey looking at our search in life to find ourselves and that special someone.
