About this listen
They never tell you how expensive it is to be poor.
You don’t just pay with money
You pay with sleep,
With silence,
With sacrifice.
I watched "Straw by Tyler Perry"
And two lines broke me:
“No matter what you’re going through, someone else is going through worse," and "That people don't know how expensive it is to be poor."
And it made me wonder…
Why do we always have to downplay our pain
to feel worthy of healing?
This is for everyone doing their best with so little.
For those who are tired but keep showing up.
I see you. I feel you.
And I pray ease finds you soon.
Poverty isn’t just about money.
1 .It’s paying more for less.
2.It’s sacrifice, silence, survival.
3.It’s being blamed for a system you didn’t create.
4.Its strength that’s rarely celebrated.
To those surviving on hope, I see you.
You are not invisible. Your pain matters.
May ease and dignity find you.
We talk about wealth as if it’s always a reward. But sometimes, poverty is just a circumstance.
Sometimes, people work hard and still have nothing to show for it.
Let’s stop judging what we don’t understand.”
