Do Too You Value

Why did I believe in good that I had never seen the nasty horrible people who are truly mean growing up together after meeting as a teen thinking there was good in them though it has never been Are my peers prepared to be someone who is there for me do they compete compare and see themselves above the hierarchy As if there’s something that they do to help their friends who have no clue a skill they have that’s not in you a priceless gift hard to value They will talk of what they do how good they are and think it true saying things not said by you about a skill you don’t value Something you would never do hence the reason you’ve no clue there’s a different route for you with self respect that you value If you’re good at things you do other people know it too they will talk of it to you as they can see the true value When you speak of what you do and no one ever says it too the idea only comes from you something only you value So maybe what you need to do is learn a skill that they have too a use for others not just you a skill that is of true value once it’s something you can do other people notice too they’ll give praise and credit you a sense of purpose and value You do what you do because you need too and no one else but you thinks it has value Why think it’s something to do when nobody else does it too tells the world all about you a life unnoticed lacks value I know you like to think you do what others wish they could too but they haven’t skills like you in this belief you find value You’re a peer too scared to be a human with ability and it is very clear to see thwarting insecurity Why do you think you are good in ways you’ve never been grasping hold of possibilities existing in a dream growing up not too clever painting your own scene you may look like an adult now but inside you’re a teen!
