    He wanders down the street with three jackets on his back. He pushes a rusted  shopping cart overflowing with various  things.

  • The End of Childhood

    I couldn’t wait until I was older When I could do all I was wanting But as an adult now that past Just seems like a haunting A phantom of the shell, The hollow person I became. All that I wanted then, Would never be the same.  Toys don’t hold the same value To someone
