28. Foreclosure: Write a poem or short story about someone who has lost or is about to lose their home.

Despair overcomes this fragile heart

Sinking hope into the dark

Light and life have no past

No future, no present, no start or last

I am lost in the papers

With not even words

To take my mind

Away from the edge of the line

Number, only them

The hopelessness stems

Hateful black marks

That tear at my heart

The sacrifice is steep

Far too high for me

Instead of blood, they want gold

But my soul is already sold
