Walk on by.
Just walk on by ignoring me
Why should you care that I'm hungry
You are well fed and warmly dressed
You demonstrate no interest.
You can pretend you do not see
And go your way quite happily.
I used to hold the self same view.
But that was long before I knew.
What it was like to lose it all.
The happy times I can recall.
Fate snatched away most suddenly.
Now I depend on charity.
Something I thought I'd never do
But circumstances force me to.
