As I sat in my bed
My mind faded to another place
A place that I knew so little about
It is often looked upon in disgrace
“Go get a job”
I recalled a man yell
To the poor lady in the corner
A phrase she knew very well
Why didn’t I go up to her
Why didn’t I ask
How can I assist you
The woman in me would do any task
But I didn’t go up to her
I didn’t even look
Why do we think
We have the ability to read someone like a book
Who knows what she might be going through
Who knows how she got here
What we should know for sure
Is that she shouldn’t be living in fear
We can do something
All of us together
To help the people in need
Resist the cold weather
We can donate
Or offer our assistance
Even just talking
Helps them fight their resistance
