From outside my attire.
My cheekbones do not show,
I'm sure they could be higher.

I don't drive a posh car,
A Volvo suits me fine.
I do not eat caviar,

Expensive clothes are not
A necessity for me.
Bought for mere survival,
Not lavish spending sprees.

It's not too impressive,
But I'm happy with what I've got,
And I am valuable,
