My Self Worth
My mouth always late to stop
speaking thoughts outside the box
direct and true words causing shock
saying things the rest do not
singled out too many times
meaning the impact declines
embarrassment this implies
in me is now desensitised
cus when it happens everyday
it becomes the only way
used to not receiving praise
and having people in your face
no need to seek out your approval
never known it so unusual
fake is something I've no use for
my self worth isn't formed by people
my success is mine to notice
so is failure and feeling hopeless
others see me out of focus
judging how they see I wrote this
