MISCONCEPTION

Had to lie.
When asked,
Said I worked at McDonalds
Fellow students
Would never understand…
…Care.
An art student
Living under the shade of the Empire State
Footsteps away 5th Avenue
Not having to work???
I’d be a snob from abroad
Worst yet
I was an ambassador’s son,
What a Bum!
He feels no pain
Has nothing to gain
Homeless people have more to say!
Never felt like explaining
Lying was much easier
Become one of them
Should have told them,
About my homeless heart.
