Am I Better?

I was at Mass,
And someone I knew looked straight through me
I guess he was intoxicated with religious piety
Thinking he was holier than I.

I was at a social club,
And someone I knew looked straight through me, too
I guess he was intoxicated with his wealth
Thinking he was richer than I..

Am I being paranoid,
Imagining everyone's shunning me, every now and then?
Someone asked me, "Why are they always slighting you?"
And I answered, "I don't know. Maybe, I'm just a bit better than they".
