Pain condenses
In ways unexpected
Lifestyle commodified
Culture homogenized
A city grows the pain isn’t shared
A test to see who really cares
Clarity grows as we do
Our passions begin to be see through
Opportunities afforded
Reality distorted
I know by values why can’t I control it
Class ambiguous
Judgement continuous
I catch myself do I really think this?
Working hard just won’t cut it
It isn’t worth it I just say fuck it
My narrative goes against my beliefs
Martyr complex in me runs deep
Measuring wealth only in money
Forgetting about the people who love me
Life isn’t fair that’s what we have known
Sit back and watch injustice unfold
History can’t absolve what time hasn’t solved
The finger points out
Relying on its own account
The finger points in
And I will always let myself win
Glances turn to glares
Resentment deepens with my stare
Surface level envy
Projection of what I can be
Chasing that feeling
Believing what I’m seeing
Celebrate the monied
While we fight to be visible
We take the abuse
Our anxities are taken as truth
