I Roam The Streets

I Roam the streets
Begging for food
I am lowly
And despised
But I was not always like this
I mingled with the wrong crowd
Who introduced me to poison
To cope with life
And the drugs took over
I am ravaged
I am helpless
I am sick
Please do not despise me
I need help
When you see me
Or another me
Or say a silent prayer
For me
Or another me
But please don’t despise me
Because I already
Hate what I have become
