Tattered & Broken
From the outside looking in, no one ever thinks this could happen to them. They don't even spend another moment to ponder what they could ever do to end up living on the streets or being faced with an eviction notice that leaves them with no�home to go to. Homeless. A word that every child fears but should never have to go through-but when faced with reality and a fucked up hand played by your challenger "Fate", can't deny theirselves to be everything they never believed they would soon be.
�Out of all the chaos and tragedy I have been faced with throughout most of my childhood, I never would have thought all my luck would be turned upside down quicker than a roller coaster going down a hill. Granted things have never been perfect or completely "normal-like"- but it was manageable. It was something I could always deal with as long as I had my family and a roof over my head with a place that I didn't have to hide the troubled soul inside. I could let my spirit roam free in our house knowing what is to be expected of tomorrow. Now, tomorrow is never gaurenteed. There is no plan or sign of anything telling me what to expect for the weeks to come. Tomorrow has lost all hope. No faith of anything good is to be expected of the unknown-especially when the unknown is the reality�being homeless.
�Homeless is what I am now. I have places to go-but are no good for a troubled soul like mine. Places where the vulnerable get trapped by the wicked and are tempted into doing things that are believed to help a given situation-but in�reality only make things worse; even destroy any hope of finding a safe place to piece my brokenness in. Its the fear of making one simple mistake in a already troubled situation that frightens me the most. Failure� or being denied of a safe place is no longer an option I can accept for myself or my family. As petrified as we all are, we all must stand our grounds, strong as a battle scarred soldier; ready for the impact of the unexpected-but we can't show fear. Fear will only break us down even more and that will set us up for failure; something we cannot afford at a time like this. Not now-not ever.
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;�but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:29-31
