Foolish Assumptions

What makes you think,
You could see the world through my eyes?
Is it because you are richer?
Is it because you wield more power?

What makes you think,
You could walk the world in my shoes?
Is it because you are wiser?
Is it because you fit in them better?

What makes you think,
You could experience the world in my skin?
Is it because you are superior?
Is it because you feel much deeper?

What makes you think,
You could move the world with my words?
Is it because you know better?
Is it because you have vocabulary that is wider?

What makes you think,
You could impress the world with my talents?
Is it because you hold exclusive rights?
Is it because you want to bathe in the limelight?

So what if you are richer?
So what if you wield more power?
Yet, you are no wiser.
Neither do my shoes fit you better.

You may act superior.
But, you feel no deeper than a puddle of water.
You claim to know better.
Yet, your lack of vocabulary makes me falter.

Bearing in mind that hogging the limelight,
Does not give you the exclusive rights,
To dictate what to do with my life.
Neither are these excuses,
For you to evaluate my worth.
