a young man
dressed in dark, warn out clothing
sips a cup of hot tea at a local café
with fear in his mind
he wonders why
he keeps losing everything
is it him? or is it everyone else?
he has questions with no answers
he lost his previous home
and now he's losing his current
he begins to silently cry in private
he remembers, sometimes
everyone needs to cry
his soul is beaten down
and he feels a heavy burden
in his heart
