I was living in a doorway


I was living in a doorway
Writing in rhyme
Having a crazy birthday 
At Christmas time

Feeling all the magic
Along with Frenchy too
And little Marley
Who where homeless too

Even though it was freezing
Steve came along
Along with Polish Gabbie
His partner who's strong

All cuddled up together
To take in each others heat
So we could all survive
Simply on the street

Now this is real life
In a place no one should be
Now thank you my friends
For being there for me

Even though I had no money
And was completely on my ass
They came along
Which was first class

Because they love what I do
And what I create
And said one simple thing
Which I can relate

And that is no one
 Should ever be left out
Even though we have nothing
We know what life's about

And that's helping each other
 Which brought a tear to my eye
 Yet this is street life
Which is no word of a lie

For no matter your religion
 Colour or race
 The small things in life count
As we try to find our place

Yet some have addictions
 Which covers their pain
 Just like myself
With no one to blame

Only I found my answer
 Through art and rhyme
 Which has changed my life round
And could help others in time

Survival

 
When your feeling all the things
That no one understands
In a life that you live
Yet you've never planned
 
As the people walking past you
At the side of the road
As your writing in your sleeping bag
While living no fixed abode
 
Hoping for a proper meal
Instead of can in hand
Even though its real freezing
Upon this very land
 
With Christmas simply over now
Please have no fear
For everyone will help you out
After spreading Christmas cheer
 
Yet you have no benefits
And try to keep yourself clean
Even though many others
Want to treat you mean
 
With no Identification
Its even harder too
This is real life now
So don't think it won't happen to you
 
And if it really does
You'll find it really tough
For you will have to fight
To hold on to your stuff
 
For others will simply rob you
As they fight for survival too
Out on the streets
Where death can come for true
