Down and Out

He said "Can you spare a five?"
Without it I won't survive
I have been beaten down and broken by this life
My troubles cause me much strife
I have fought the bottle
Had no role models
Problems finding my way
Everything costs and I have nothing to pay
The streets are so cruel
Never went to school
Made my choices
Now I hear voices
On my own
Have no one to phone
My family said goodbye
I didn't really try
I am homeless
In distress
You are so blessed
Please "Can you spare a five?"
Without it I won't survive
