Do you understand what poverty is like?

Demar Desu

no allowances 

simply just enjoying life 

when money comes… whew!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Growing up poor as a kid is an interesting foundation, since I had nothing I had nothing to lose so I was always honest and understanding and generous to who was around me. Now as an adult having all my needs met monthly I have nothing to lose so now I’m always honest, understanding and still generous.

        My friend, more than some…less than many. I do know what it means to live paycheck to paycheck…to not have enough to make ends meet. That reality sticks with you. Well done on this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            I won’t let poverty steal my joy, even though it’s be nice to afford some luxury items every now and then lol

              Exactly, the most finest things in life don’t even cost money, but I definitely enjoy finer food
