I Who Have Nothing (poem)

Look at me, I live in filth and squalor
I strive to be perfect, yet I fail miserably
How can I be worthy of salvation of the spirit
When the world is so cruel to me? ~psp

Well, at least she has warm clothes.. Thank God she is not illiterate and can write

I was about that age sleeping in an abandoned house after my mother had kicked me out of the house and Pops gave me $5 for a tuna sandwich and a pack of smokes. Thankfully it was warm out.

i feel for you
it must have been difficult to be rejected by your mom
something smells fishy, at least dad tried to help
what do i know, i never had such incidences
maybe i was just a good boy...

well we do the therapy for others, i believe
i've just gone in circles with it
i feel fortunate
like something or someone has been watching over me and guiding me
yet for the life of me i can't see it
so maybe i'm so shut down that i can't sense it
when i had my marital breakup after 15 years, it devastated me
i had to rebuild myself on all fronts, career, friends, relationship, my kid
it all went head over heels
as they say, there but for the grace of god go i
i've been lucky
i want to pass on those blessings to others
thankful or grateful, relieved, i don't know what
i just know i've recovered some sense of life
it took a long time to recover that
seems like a lifetime
we takes our chances and we does our best
and whatever happens, god deals with the rest
