My Worth
I lose myself trying to please everyone.
Nobody wants to see the real me,
The person I actually am.
I step out in confidence and come back,
Tears threatening to spill from my eyes,
Cruel words pierce me,
Tiny shards of glass embedded in my chest,
I change my mindset.
Different personalities,
Like outfits, each day a different one to wear,
And as the daylight fades away,
I find myself all alone,
Conflicted emotions and a twisted sense,
Of who I actually am.
"Place value on yourself", I always hear,
But which version of myself do I place value on?
