Know Who You Are

To the woman who relishes in riches

You know who you are

You act so matter of fact

And notice not

I stand before you

Unveiling the truth

Put away that charade

Look me in the eye

We both know

You’re no better than I

Play make-believe

If that’s what you want

But I’ll be here

With judgmental thoughts

I see you overspend

Drowning in debt

You can’t pretend

I see the exaggeration

When you’re with friends

You try so hard

To keep all aloof

Know who you are

You’re the woman, once rich

But now forever poor

Living vicariously in the wealth

You yearn for

So adorn yourself in jewels

Lavish in riches

But know who you are

Because it’s me you cannot fool
