I am worthless
its plain to see
I am worthless
a failure thats me
I am worthless
from head to toe
I am worthless
but who would know
I am worthless
cant you see
I am worthless
just leave me be
I am worthless
just let me be blue
I am worthless
just let me die
I am worthless
that is NO lie
I am worthless
just let me kill
I am worthless
but I can TRY to heal
I am worthless
peace be with you
I am worthless
never again shall I feel blue
I am worthless
I know its true
but tell me
am I worthless to you

Not to this one you are not.  This was a wonderful approach and I loved the ending:

"but tell me
am I worthless to you"
Loved it.

Silent soul, no you're not worthless. It's very obvious to all of us here that you have alot of talent. You express yourself beautifully. I grew up with my share of negativity and I got to a point where I saw the light and realized that I had something to offer. I look forward to the day that you will feel that in yourself. You express your emotions well. Take care

liked the repetition scheme here...this almost rings in my head like a persistent song"Im worthless IM WORTHLESS"....

how can anyone who can express himself so well be worthless?

a powerful poem it stings because I think we have all reached a period where we believe this, Alot a pain in this. I hope you are ok, take care and take it easy.

Do you feel that way?  If you keep repeating it so many times you are going to totally convince me that you are worthless...ha..ha..That's probably why you feel that way yourself...someone in your life kept telling you that.
But I believe you are valuable.
You write good poetry.
It's up to you to find your value, your gifts, your abilities, and your opportunities and go for it.
I think you have already figured that out on your own...this is just a confirmation..ha..ha..take care...James

  Anyone who can pull off a wonderful ending
  like you just did in this piece is:

          "NOT WORTHLESS!!!!!"



Paint your words upon the eager waiting canvas of my heart.....~Sunny1~
