Homeless

So many homeless people. Such a stark contrast to the grandeur of the buildings, the fancy shop fronts, and the shiny mobile phones everyone’s glued to. It hurts. And yet, I can feel myself slipping into indifference fast, like it’s easier not to look.

But it’s that gaze that stays with me — half pissed off, half crazy, half desperate, and half deeply sad. A gaze that says they’ve been let down. That life promised something it never delivered. Broken dreams. Broken promises. Missed love.

​It cuts deep, and it makes me wonder how quickly we all learn to look away.
