Oh yes another day in my complicated life. I hate to hear people speak about being poor. Today I heard a girl in form one or two, teasing the other girl about her being poor, I felt sorry for the other girl, but she has to toughen up one day or the other, in this world there won't be people like me willing to help her throughout her life. And then it was lunchtime at school, after having lunch I would normally sit and old talk with my friends, but I sat and thought about the true meaning of being poor...
Every one is poor in this world some way or the other. Look at me for instance, I'm not like a super rich girl, but the majority of things I ask for I get. First in form 1 I wanted a computer, got it,,, that wasn't enough, it was too boring, asked for internet got it, then the new trend was mp3 players, but then I saw mp4 players had to get it, got it. But I'm not trying to brag but show how things come,there are some days, my mother doesn't know how on earth she going and pay the bills and buy groceries. If I was to ask my mother to go fete or concert or something and the ticket was like $600.00 or something, ain't no way I'm going. And still with all my other stuff I still lack something, the love of a father. It really hurts you know, because everyday I'm constantly reminded, by seeing my sis with her dad.
So no matter how much money someone has or how much material things they have they are still poor, because they either lack love or happiness, or they are never contended they still want more...I look at some children who people class as poor, because of the way they look, and because of what they don't have, and they are so happy. I hear them everyday, when I walk pass on my way home from school talking to their mom, on what they did in school and so on. They are so rich, not even the richest man could buy their feelings of happiness. They don't have computers or cable T.V. they have each other's company, so their communication level at their home is high.
While at my home, everyone's in their own world. I'm kinda like the only one who knows about gadgets and stuff, so I spend most time with pictures, being online getting music and so on[although these days i'm studying more than ever], my brother just watches t.v. in his room, on his arrival from work, and my sis watches her t.v. also. And mom comes home tired, and when I do try to speak with her, husband tries to over power me, because he alone wants to speak to her, so I just get fed up and leave the room, and come back to my room, where my t.v. and my blinkbroad band connection can keep my company. He gets me so angry sometimes, I just wanna get away from him and my whole family sometimes, maybe one my prince charming will come and rescue me from my miserable life, sigh....one day... he better make it fast!

Hey sweetie, I agree we all are poor in one way or the other. but we must always be thankful for the little things we have....although it may not always be material things....we have a roof over our head and food to eat..and that alone is so much
