if i was wonderful as you
i wouldnt fear mirrors
i would love my reflection
i could walk down the road
and never be told which way to go
and if i was as great as you
i could make a woman smile
never live with denial
laugh my troubles away
maybe if i was special like you
i would never play the fool
follow all their rules
but im not all the above
and i cant bear my face
live life as the disgrace
so im wishing to be you
special wonderful great you
its never meant to be
ill always be just me
worthless forgotten me

Some sad feelings here. Personally I don't think anyone is worthless nor forgotten. Sad subject here but well done! God has not forgotten you!

You aren't worthless! No one is perfect, even the person this poem is written about. For all you know, the subject could be feeling the same way about themselves.

Nobody is worthless...each of us has something unique to give but it takes a unique person to recognise the gift that you give, that of yourself...they just haven't found you yet but they will!

Tell me how you see you?

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

oh,how sad Jackal. Just look at your talent for writing verse to see how very wrong you are about being worthless!
