Try to use Words that you think describe homeless people or the actions or feelings of them. You can write in first person (like i did) or 3rd person.

Here is an example of a poem I wrote. Hope this helps!

Life As a Homeless Teen

My home can be anywhere, everywhere.

I am a nomad.

One night I am sleeping on a bench,

The next it's the cold hard cement of a parking garage.

Some days I may have a plate of food,

And sometimes I will go days without eating.

Wandering the streets is dangerous,

Especially the parts of town I roam.

I am tired, lonely, and scared.

Does anybody care?

I feel betrayed and forgotten.

I am constantly hiding and running from the police.

I am ashamed of myself and my family.

I am embarrassed in front of the public.

As I walk by the school, I see girls in pretty dresses and boys in nice slacks.

All I have is a torn t-shirt and some ripped pants I found in the dumpster.

The only possessions I hold are the torn rags on my body.

I beg for food and money day and night.

I want to be loved.

I want to have a home.
