Worthless

Worthless, a word that cuts deep Like a sharp blade, it makes you weep Feeling insignificant, overlooked Like a forgotten book, closed and booked You try so hard to prove your worth But it always feels like a futile search No matter how much you achieve The feeling of worthlessness never leaves It's like a shadow that follows you A dark cloud that blocks the view Of the light that could shine so bright But instead, you're trapped in eternal night You question your existence, your purpose Wondering if you'll ever find your surface In a world that seems to constantly remind That your worth is hard to find But deep down, you know it's not true You have value, you have meaning too Don't let the voices of doubt drown out The truth that lies within, don't let them shout You are worth more than you know Your worth is not determined by a show Of achievement or success, it's in your essence In your being, in your presence So hold your head up high, don't let them bring you down You are valuable, you are a gem, a precious crown Worthless is just a word, don't let it define you You are worth it, believe in yourself, it's true.
