She said it just takes one mistake
One decision
One moment gone awry
That makes a person homeless
And though I am comparatively well off
I know that is true from experience
I made no effort to burn bridges
And yet
There they go a blazing
And due to fight or flight
And my need for self preservation
I ran when threatened
And here I am
A ragamuffin in a coffeeshop
Carrying all my belongings in a backpack and a plastic bag
And I think I'll try to couch-surf
As best as I possibly can
But I stand by my art
Though it led to the death threat
Which I ran from
Which now leaves me homeless
