Inspired by a homeless child
She has sad, sleepy eyes.

In a low voice I heard a child talking
He was walking among unfamiliar people
He felt a negative alienation in his attention
His gaze fell on striking faces
Some features were absent
Their eyes were sad and sleepy
Some were pale and innocent
Some were bold and clear
Some were broken and frozen
Some were smiling and swollen
Their noses were straight and thin
Some were convex and hooked
Some were elongated and arched
Some were graceful and short
Some were flat and massive
They had round and attractive mouths
Some were full and thick
Some were thin and erased
Some were bright and full
Some were exciting and exciting
They were all prominent and repetitive faces
And quickly appeared and disappeared, unknown
He looked at them With a fleeting, innocent touch
Some were familiar, some were strange
He continued to walk with steady steps
His breathing was tight and disgusting
The faster he went, the more his thoughts were lost
He didn't want to be like them in their miserable state
But he and they became pale
How could he escape their stinging looks?
If his luck among them is like that of forgotten children
And their existence in his life becomes absurd
He has no strength to accept their difficult circumstances
Perhaps there are many like him who have desperate dreams
They live with each other like stray dogs
They rush at each other mocking the crumbs of their strength
And in the evening things get worse as in the wilderness
He looked at me and continued saying:
Our days have no names and are naked
There is no holiday in our world and the years are running
We are children of a world that has no nationality
We are free within worn-out systems
We came to this land without friendship
And we will grow up to become ancestors of offspring

I have always been interested in poetry and essay, especially rhyme style, so I decided to post my essay here and see if I have any talent in poetry or not.
