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?

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God bless you. He gives you great value.
