Wear the logo.
Sip the overpriced latte.
Smile like you belong.
But deep down
you traded truth
for a tag.
Fake gold glows too,
until it rains.
Don’t plant your worth
in damp soil
just to grow rice
for someone else’s plate.
Luxury?
Maybe.
But only if illusion is your favorite fabric.
Real talk
your worth isn’t worn,
it’s lived.
