Worthless I was called worthless. He said I’m useless and of no value in his eyes. Bittersweet words, nothing sounds right. He put me down with every word. He doesn’t fill my heart, As the words taunt me. The evil ones always prevail— His words pierced through my skin. My self-esteem is low; I’m drowning under the sea. I can’t even reach the heavens; The water fills up my lungs. I have bruises on my arms; You destroyed my dreams. I try to hold back my tears— I promise I won’t cry. You scream I’m worthless. Why do you want to hurt me? I love you with my heart; All you did was mock me. I begged you to stop. Don’t you understand I suffered? You called me worthless trash. You’re like a demon’s curse. A disease in my whole life That will never leave— A murder in my life, A mind-control bastard. Why do you stab me in the back? Why do I suffer in pain? Why do the wicked prevail? You look at me as if I’m worthless, Treated me like an animal. I screamed; I battled. Why do you call me worthless? You pushed me into a corner, Waiting for my death penalty.
