White Trash

When I was growing up I knew we were not like other people The way we lived was not very clean and stable, I hated the fact that this title would be with me forever So I pretended to be better now and left that world behind me and i feel that's pretty clever, No matter how I try to be something I am not I can't seem to clean off the stench of the trash I thought I forgot, I will always be considered white trash No matter how much I try to avoid the greed of cash, You can't hide from who you really are Believe me I have tried and haven't gotten to far, I don't care to work for my own way So I choose to take from others no matter what they say, I will grow old still being white trash It is in my blood to be this way so why change the past. Written By: Unique Poetry 2008: This was inspired by people whom grew up in this way...so sad...
