Yellow sticker – a poem
Our Empowerment Programme Officer Ben Pearson wrote this poem as part of one of our weekly creative workshops.
Yellow sticker you label me,
Poor.
Late night,
Hungry.
I search aisles,
For the battered, bruised, left behind.
Trolleys overflowing,
They look at me.
Battered, bruised, left behind,
They label me.
