He is not looking forward to the years ahead
And at times he does feel he would be better off dead
Homeless and often hungry and struggling to cope
In his mid teens and almost bereft of hope
Of finding a job due to a lack of a postal address
To have a home to live in to him would mean success
Due to abusive parents he is on the street
And the challenges of survival every day he does meet
Of any happiness in life due to birth circumstance
He is one of those young people who stand little chance
The life he does live is one he does not choose
Apart from his desire to live he has nothing to lose
And though hope of a good future from him has gone
His love of life does help him to live on.
