I am not poor.
I have a roof over my head
A place to sleep
Food to eat
And water to drink
I am not poor.
I have clothes to wear.
Books to read.
TV to watch.
Shoes to wear.
I am not poor.
And yet
I complain when I see others
I want those shoes
I want their house
I want their clothes
I want their watches
But I am not poor
I am not rich
I am in between.
I am not rich
I don't have Gucci shoes
I don't have expensive clothes
Caviar has never touched my lips
I don't have the newest phone
I am not rich
I don't have expensive makeup
I don't go on vacations every month
I don't have a Lamborghini
I don't have a plane
I am not rich
And yet
I hear others worry about where to sleep
I want to be like them
I want to look like them
I want to talk like them
I want to be them
But I am not rich
I am not poor
I am in between.
