Being poor is something that most of us all recently claim to be as we struggle to make ends meet, yet i don't think that some people really know what being poor actually means, so, here's my version.
Being poor means that you have to shop on a tight budget.
Being poor means that you stand at the checkout rattling numbers in your head, mentally screaming that you can't afford to go over your budget.
Being poor means that even though you want to put the heating on because you can see your breath, you have to stick an extra layer of clothing on.
Being poor means that even though you have a common cold, theres no medacine you can afford to buy.
Being poor means that you turn every bit of electric off when you can.
Being poor means that you don't get out to see much of the world.
Being poor means you're left behind.
Being poor means no matter how hard you try, somebody will look down on you.
Being poor means you daren't allow your love life to develop.
Being poor means that you constantly worry.
Being poor means you need help.
The UK government keep claiming that they need to and will be tougher on people who are out of work. We, unemployed people, can't have savings, we cannot work overtime, we are some of the poorest people in the UK, looked down upon by the masses.
Being poor means you need others to understand.
