A Home

We fall down 

but we get back up again a sinner

Just a sinner who fall down 

but we couldn’t stay there

A shelter is just a shelter 

but we couldn’t stay there

A home is where we 

get back up again 

A room Is just 

somewhere we can stay

 

A shout out to Mayor Muriel Bowser. We say thank you! Girl, get those shelters open. A woman’s place is not in the streets, being scared of everybody she meets. Life in the streets is no place to meet your enemies, rapists, or street fighters.

We believe ending homelessness begins with listening to the stories of those who have experienced it.
