Cute, but feels like there's kind of weak context. The speaker is lamenting others' fate as well, yet his thoughts on those people aren't clear. Like I presume he's glad he's not in the homeless person's situation, but he doesn't express his feeling on it, just that it's a different scenario than he finds himself in. And with the running theme of waiting, I don't know what he's waiting for. The rhymes are clean. The meter is as well, if a little forced by word choice here and there. It's a fun little thing, as long as you don't go looking for too much meaning in it.

This looks like it's going to be a haiku, but the first line is too long. Free verse then? It doesn't have a meter or rhyme scheme. As to meaning, I assume these ghosts are the other possibilities of what else he could have done. I like the idea of that, but he expresses no feelings about whether those other paths were good or bad, so I'm left not knowing what mood to get from this.
