latent ~|~

i live in you
latent
waiting
potential

you just don't know .. yet

could be anytime that i show my face, you know
just takes a twist, maybe a turn ..
life kicks you in the teeth and i show up shortly after

i'm noone important either
just another you
inside you
waiting to happen ..
and if i don't then it's cool
i'm not looking for fame

i'm just here
inside you

waiting to happen

 . ..  ...         .                                                              ~|~

hi, it's me again
just wanted to remind you
i'm here

don't look for me, by the way
actually, you should be really glad you haven't met me yet
'cause i'm the person you don't want to see ..
when you see me it's because there's bad stuff going down in your life
and you
turn to me
to be you

i'm your homeless self . .     .. ..       .

and you aren't that far away from  me
considering life
considering the way things are developing
and the sheer speed of the madness ..
and it doesn't take much
like a housing crisis could do it
or a life-threatening illness
   actually, it doesn't need to be life-threatening
   just expensive, like draining your worth one time
could be another madoff
that madeoff with your savings ..

then you turn to me
'cause i'm all you got
and i'm you

i'm just here
all latent-like
waiting
potential

 . .. . .            . .      .

so
what will it take for you to realize the truth of homelessness
and stop judging  ?
  ??  ?
careful ..
be reeeeal careful
you
   and i
might be next

you know ?                   ?

.....
      . . . . .
                     .....     .
                                       .  .          .

and
by the way ..
homelessness may not happen to you .. ever
but that doesn't matter
it could have, even if it doesn't

thing is to understand that we are all homeless
   latent-like
and those that are are because of life
their life
just because it isn't our life doesn't mean we shouldn't care
we should
regardless
Jesus does

Jesus does
what other reason need i  ?                         ?
       ?
