Misconception

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 Steps away 5th Avenue Without a job? Turned me into a snob from abroad In their eyes. 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, I was then one of them. Should have told them About my homeless heart.
