The Real Possession

You need me,

To pull up in my old car

So you can feel better,

About your expensive sports car.

You need me, 

To be in the isle walking with my calculator

So you can smile 

While you scoop things into your cart.

You need me

To be sitting at the bar

So when you walk in

There are heads turning.

You need me

To buy fake jewelry

So you can turn your nose up

As you pass by in your diamonds.

You need me

To be there

So you can act like I'm not there

Just to give your life some purpose.

You need me

To stare at your profile pictures

Added to your "friends", your audience

So you can feel your eternal spotlight.

You need me

For without me

Without people who aren't rich

Without people who aren't special

You...are..nothing.
