and now I’m here
in this fancy hotel with all this fancy food and servers who treat me like I was a swan napkin
swimming in infinity pool with co-workers before the meeting
this view of the mountains
but I close my eyes
just dreaming of my boyfriend and me
laying in his arms in the bathtube of our 1-bedroom apartment
oh how happy I’d be

“I used to spend a lotta time worryin that I was different from other people, even from other homeless folks. Then, after I met Miss Debbie and Mr. Ron, I worried that I was so different from them that we wasn’t ever gon’ have no kind a’ future. But I found out everybody’s different – the same kind of different as me. We’re all just regular folks walkin down the road God done set in front of us. The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or somethin in between, this earth ain’t no final restin place. So in a way, we is all homeless – just workin our way toward home.”
