The Value of a Life

I have no where to go
I have no one to turn to
I have no one to love
I have no one who loves me

I have no worth

What will I lose if I cease to exist?
What will the world lose if I am no more?

There are no angels waiting for me in the water.
There are no angels waiting for me at the end of a gun.
There are no angels waiting for me in an empty bottle of pills.

I have no worth

If I cease to exist only two people will morn my death
If I cease to exist my cats will lay on my pillow

If I cease to exist the world will be a better place.

I have no worth

I used to have a place to go. My haven,

I used to have a lover,

I used to have love in my life
I used to be loved,

I have no worth

I am still young; I am pretty so they say.

I am adventuresome
I work hard; play hard,

love hard
I am a good person; giving,

caring and sharing
I put my heart and soul into work,

play and love.
I have no where to go
I have no one to turn to
I have no one to love
I have no one who loves me

I have no worth

I have nothing to offer except my body,

I have nothing except the clothes on my back,

my knowledge and my experiences.
I have no worth

They say from ashes to ashes
I feel this is my fate.

I have no where to go
I have no one to turn to
I have no one to love
I have no one who loves me

Should I return to dust?
Should my remains lie in a jar as ash,

And now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake………………

Its like your saying your going to kill yourself but at the same time your going to wait because it wouldnt seem right. Like theres something youcan do and you feel like death would only waste it. Nice write. Im enjoying your style as well. Its kind of hypnotic.

let it spill and roar like hell!

Thank you! I have never ever been suicidal but when my boyfriend broke up with me, I was certainly depressed. This is most likely as dark as my inner self gets. I have always had the belief that "tomorrow is another day!" I have been reading and enjoying your work as well!

This is despair, this is depth, this is darkest dark but O it is good and I like it! You have conveyed to the reader what most of us have felt some time or another in our own lives. A well written piece.

dreams, commitment, loyality. It sounds like you have a lot to offer. Don't underestimate yourself just 'cause others do. This was a good piece. Wanting to die, but always that optimistic hope lingering in the back of your mind. yep, I could relate. Thanks for sharing..
