I Am Not Worthless

I doubt my self-worth
But I am not worthless 
I’ve touched so many hearts
This is not where my life ends, it’s where it starts
My time is not done on this earth
I am not worthless
Without me, this world would be a little more gloomy 
My existence is and will always be important to those who know me
I love myself enough to know that I am talented
Maybe I can’t draw or sing or even play an instrument
But I am not worthless
Yes, sometimes I feel trapped and alone
But sometimes I feel as though I am sitting on a throne
There are still so many things I need to see and do
Through the pain and loathing, I have grown
I have too many friends to ever feel alone
The unhappiness that ruled me has been overthrown
I will not let depression reign again
I am my own ruler
I am the queen of my own life
