Stumbling in the Wind

Suzanne Mondoux · 21 February 2020

It’s been a hard life crashing into everyone Crying out for help and seeking mercy No love for me, or another I’m stumbling in the wind

I’m stumbling in the wind, pushed here and there What’s out there and what can’t I see Too much shame to forgive myself The wind blows me here and there

Too weak to stand on my own two feet Can you see me, can you hear me I’ve made it this far and survived life on the street My dressed is ripped and my feet are cold

I walk the street all night, in the cold and the rain I’m stumbling in the wind to make a buck here and there I give it for cheap to make ends meet They take without complaints

I’m stumbling in the wind to find my way I have scratches on my knees and bruises on my smile My eyes stay shut in front of the mirror No need to see me

My heart has turned into stone and my tears are all gone I’ve stumbled in the wind until I’m all gone I’ve turned into dust and drift into the night Into the wind I stumble

What would you do if you see me stumbling in the wind No handout, but a smile and see me Stumbling in the wind is where you’ll find me
