When will my knight and shining armor come and rescue me? I've been homeless for couple months now, and I just recently sprained my ankle. Being homeless with a sprained ankle isn't easy.

I'm not very good with pain and my ankle hurt too much to move. Thus, I've been sitting here, against this dark, cold, alley hall, wishing someone would hear my quiet sobs. But no one ever does. I keep crying through, hoping one day someone will rescue me. It's lonely. I have to get some food; I can feel my insides eating away at my stomach. I need something; I don't care what it is.

We would snarl at one another for no reason. I remember how disorienting it was to look down and see two square-toed shoes instead of my own four feet. Keep your mouth shut, I repeated during our walking drills, staring straight ahead. Keep your shoes on your feet. Mouth shut, shoes on feet.
