I sit on this same corner everyday asking, begging for money or food to make it through the night... but as the day goes by... I always wonder if I'll ever see the next day. My clothes are dirty... I haven't bathed six months... I have nowhere else to go. Can anyone help me? I feel alone with no one to turn to. There's no way I can survive out here on my own. People walk right past me as if I don't exist... like I'm nobody to them. Show me a sign because I won't make it.
