Homeless
I am broke,
I am broke because I pay rents
I pay rents for living in the hearts
belonging to someone else .
The rents sums up
To the love, energy and time.
In the beginning it seems like I own them
Then the owner arrives
And i am left with no time,
Lots of baggage and a call-
that the home is not mine.
I try to please them for concessions,
For few more days for few more installments
But they are always reluctant and
throw my stuff out .
It's always on the streets, shattered and scattered
I beg again for some time -
some space atleast a room.
But the owners are proud,
Cruel and malicious.
They push me out of the door,
Shut their windows down
And don't even want me close.
I pick my stuff off the streets also
I pick the question up
How long?
How long my rent wouldn't ever be enough?
Will i ever own a home?
I am never an owner
Always homeless , always loner
Always a tenant never the owner.
