Shallow's Love Letter

 

What I lack in

Monetary means

You

By far

Lack in depth of soul

 

Your mind is filled with emptiness

Who slapped whom

On that (so called) reality show

How to tell

Real designer labels

From

Fake designer labels

 

The possessor of everything new

Until a newer one comes out

Regardless if the old new one

still

works just fine

 

The finer things in life are always expensive

The worth of a man is ALWAYS told by their clothes

Or

The car they drive

Or

The neighborhood they live in

 

Shhhh

 

Don't say this out loud

 

Even

The darkness of their skin

Or the region their grandparents came in

 

Yes you

You'll be young forever

As long as modern medicine can help it

 

Yes you

You'll be forever in

As long as you keep company with a certain type of crowd

Agree with the thoughts of a certain few that claim you as

But not really

Kin

 

Loved by many

You are

Hated by more than what you think are few

You are

 

What about you

 

If and when you ever

Seek reflection

Look for me

 

Sincerely

You

 

The you

You forgot about

 

The you

That got you there

 

The you

That you left here

 

The you

That keeps you up at night

 

You

 

I am

But

I don't think you'll understand

 

You

 

Haven't been

 

Me

 

In a long time

 

If you saw

me

I wonder

Would you recognize

All that you try to hide

All that is

 

You
