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
