Hard Life

Updated: Nov 5, 2019

Oh woe is poor me

What troubles I have!

Misfortunate grades

A “B+” in my class

No food in the fridge

(That I want to eat)

And only ten likes

On my Instagram pics

My phone is only

An old iPhone six

My friends are so rich

They all show off their house

We might all believe

Our lives are the worst

But ha! What a lie!

We all live in UA!
