Money is everything to you

I want you to know this
i want you to feel my pain
to see who i really am
not just who they see
but to walk in my shoes
and you'd be knocked off your pedestal
then maybe you would see who i really am
I'm not always the shy one in the dark corner of the room
or the outspoke one in conversations
look past my ordinary clothes
past my few, chap belongings
if you could only see past your money
beyond you own expensive designer clothes
and your brand new Mercedes Benz
then maybe you could see me
and not be so judgmental
I'm not rich, pretty, or popular
but if you'd look at me,
you would see so much more
who i am and what I'm about.
but that will never happen
because you don't really want to see
you'd rather stay above me
because to you,
money really is everything
without it, you'd be just like me.
so stay in you glittering world of fantasy
I'll stay in mine of darkness and shadows
because you really don't want to see
who i really am
you really don't want to see yourself in my eyes

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
