I’ll never have children. I’m not very smart,
And, though I’m not ugly, I’m no work of art.
My body’s not set for the cover of Vogue.
Too poor to be wealthy, too rich to be rogue.
No subject of passion, or skill to excel.
I always come second with what I do well.
I can’t grasp a language and math I don’t touch,
And, after I’m buried, my art won’t cost much.
The ideas I have don’t make any sense,
I’m of little value and no consequence.

sweetwater, you wrote this well. But don't listen to what the world may say about your worth or what you can do.

Your of consequence and value. There are people here and around you who care about you, and not in a false and selfish way.
There's a plan and future for you, don't lose hope sweetwater.
Take care of yourself.

Always, GG

Sorry I didn't see your reply earlier I'd quite forgotten that I posted this here ..  thankyou for your very kind words. Sometimes I get very sad and things like this poem emerge, it's embarassing, but thankyou for the reply, I will read it the next time I feel of little consequence.
I hope you read this.
Tash.

Actually, the very quality of this work proves its message wrong. I like this one.

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."
