The World beats you down and leaves you dead on the street...if you let it

Some people say..."Don't let life beat you down...". Well, that has almost come true in my life this past year, the world is tough, but its more life that beats you down. It defeats me and then leaves me to scrounge for water, try to save myself when I am stuck in a dark alley with no light to lead me out. I see in the windows of other peoples lives, these glass windows make me go crazy. Light shines out of them onto the street where I live, cold, freezing cold and dirty. Hungry, so hungry and scared. In these windows I see my dreams being lived through other peoples lives, thats not right? They're living my dream? I keep walking, hoping someday this alley will end, but it seems to go on forever. When will my life make since? When will I find myself a way out to my dream, where I can have my own window to show myself off to the world?
