I feel worthless but told I am worth it
So doesn't that mean feeling worthless is worthless?
But feeling worthless is in me, so that makes me worthless?
Should I accept it because it's all worth this?
I know I know nothing and I fail with success
I become more aware when I choose to know less
Ignorance slaps me to makes me crave more
I'll sit on the ground yet fall from the floor
Relentless reluctance, refuse to relent
Angry at anger, spent when I'm spent
Weary when tired, hurting with hurt
Tears make me cry and I'm washing in dirt
Self inflicted abuse to stop all the pain
It's all their fault that I am to blame
A weight that is empty, numbness that hurts
Frustrated impatience, loneliness lurks
To eat causes hunger, hatred feeds hate
I don't know who I want yet continue to wait
Scared of the fear, my map has me lost
Life is a killer because freedom has cost

So much pain. So much fear. Barbara Brennan says not to let fear find you. If you can ask yourself: "Am I afraid at this very moment" and if the answer is no than you are in a moment of Love and you are love.

I like the whole concept. Very beautiful.

Here goes: I feel some editing is needed as stated below:
So doesn't that mean feeling worthless is worthless?
maybe
[correct me if needed, but worthless is worthless!]
{But feeling worthless is in me, why I ask?}
repeat>
I know{ I know}} nothing and I fail with success
{{Relentless}} reluctance, refuse to {{relent}} same meaning
The best part, if you could continue this....
Self inflicted abuse to stop all the pain
It's all their fault that I am to blame

This is a genius of an idea. Good luck. Rose

I love this, sometimes the hardest part of existing is having to live through it... This sounds like me through and through... I especially loved
Self inflicted abuse to stop all the pain
It's all their fault that I am to blame

Your first stanza really struck me because when they say we are worth it; well, isn't everyone worth it? Who isn't worth it? Are they saying some people aren't worth it? Maybe it's just over-thinking it on my part.
One thing that comes to mind here is the universal law of balances and cause and effect. Won't the pendulum swing the other way eventually when we suffer? You wrote a very thought-provoking poem here and I am grateful that you have shared it here with us. I feel your pain, confusion and despair but there is also a sense of hope.
