Andy’s Story
We’d like to introduce you to our Guests because funds raised at Sleepout go directly towards supporting our vulnerable Guests.
Andy’s Guest Story – “this poem sort of reflects a little bit of my life”
Here comes trouble
All my life I’ve tried to be
Something that I’m not.
Getting drunk, starting fights
Running from the cops.
I was getting old and I’m wearing thin
And I can no longer hide
From the pain or the truth
That’s shows in my eyes.
I hear the whispers as I pass
People when they say
“Here comes trouble,
Here come trouble.
You’d do well to stay away.”
Well little do they realise
And if only they could see,
That you won’t find a bigger heart
Than the one that beats inside of me.
So here I go again
And I’ll do my level best
To make amends for all the hurt
I’ve caused to all my friends.
And from this point on
If you can’t see
Just who I really am,
Well that’s on you
Not on me
And we’ll leave it where it stands.
