You Don’t Know My Story

You don’t know my story
But so often
You are quick
To judge me.
I once had
A beautiful home
A family who loved me
But that was all taken
From me.
My belongings now fit
In an old supermarket basket
Which I’d always near me.
My most cherished possession
A family photo
Long since faded.
You don’t know
My story
But you step
Over me
Like I don’t matter,
As I fight back tears.
I was once you
In fancy clothes
And designer shoes.

It's a sad story and it's worst thing for people to judge homeless people.It can happen to anyone.Nobody is certain what the future will bring.Some have raised plenty of kids just to be abandoned and homeless.
