ABSTRACT
In a world of the rich and the poor, what happens to the people in the middle?
Everyone says I’m lucky. They see my father’s success, my mother’s prestige, and the macaron-colored lifestyle of a girl who has everything. In a rural town where people work to the bone just to eat, my problems are considered a luxury. I am the girl with the silver spoon, the "lucky" one, the bird free from the cage. But wealth is a different kind of prison. While my friend Ashley smiles through her poverty with a genuine warmth I can’t buy, I am drowning in a sea of expensive glitter and cold expectations. I am suffocating under a sun that shines too bright on a life I’ve learned to hate.How do you ask for help when you have no "real" reason to suffer? How do you cry when you aren't poor enough for pity?A raw, internal look at the bitterness of envy, the weight of privilege, and the silent scream of a girl who has everything—except a reason to stay.
