A simple request
Is all i have
Tell me I'm not worthless.
Ive been defeated.
Thrown down into the dust.
And i need a reason to get up again.
Ive climbed to my feet
over and over again.
And I'm sick of standing for nothing.
Do you see anything
When you look at me
Will i ever be anything?
Or and i just waiting to fall
AGAIN
and
again
I'm so ready to be disappointed,
So ready to be miss treated.
Always ready to fail,
again.
Ive never been anything special,
But sometimes it seems
i have magic in my blood,
and song in my bones.
Sometimes it seems
I am celestial in essence.
So do tell me,
am i worthless,
Or will i stand tall after all.

You are wonderful
Never in my entire life have I ever read someone's poetry that made sense..until now. You are wonderful beyond your own human knowledge. Trust in yourself, girl..who cares what the others think? You are unique..believe in yourself and you will not be worthless. I loved your words. I want you to understand that I totally disagree with your being worthless..You are human..we all have our own flaws. I would only hope that you can forgive yourself for what you may have done and not have done and move on. Life's too short to hate yourself. If anything, hate the fact that people think you are worthless. Love you and your writing. You're like a sister to me. Thanks for sharing. Nick.
