Rich and poor



Childhood wasn’t easy, oh baby alone at 15.
Mom left and I was abandoned among people.
Tell me girl are you here to save me, or is it just God?
Let me into you, maybe I would love against this multitude, are they my friends, or is it just you?
The one I care for, and into me like always, quiet as a zombie.
Let me into your dreams. Maybe you’ll find me,
Before I start searching for you outside of me.
