So, You Think You're Better Than Me

Poem Artwork


So, you think you're
Better than me
Your house on a hill
In high society
You look my way
With a poignant air
To tell you the truth
I just don't care
I'm not impressed with
Your latest design
Jeans and a T shirt
Fit me just fine

*********************

So, you think you're
Better than me
With your fancy car
And a PHD
Every day I see you
Your nose up high
Get it any further
You just might fly
I may sound jealous
But believe me, I'm not
I don't want anything
That you have got

**********************

So, you think you're
Better than me
When I look at you
That's not what I see
I see a woman who
Has lost everything
Except for her money
And her diamond rings
No love or laughter
Fill your rooms
Just the emptiness
Of a silent tomb

**********************

So, you think your're
Better than me
Climb off your pedestal
Set yourself free
Without material things
We are all the same
So stop playing your
High class game
I look in the heart
Not at what you possess
I'm not beneath you
Because I have less

the true riches are within ourselves... those who rely on the world's perceptions can only define themselves within them...
