Self-Worth
Am I worth more than just a moan?
Do you wish to say hello,
At the end of the day am I more than just a fantasy?
When you say hi,
Are you thinking of all the ways you'd like to watch me break?
Do you realize that the things I feel,
To you might seem unreal,
Though to me they make up everything I am
I sit in the same spot,
Where we always used to talk
Even though you're not here talking to me
I can hold a full-length conversation
In the end losing every part of what i built
I long for the day I could just go back in time
Sadly, what i have today,
Is what I'm stuck with right now
Somedays it's so easy,
Other days I cry to sleep
All I ever wanted was to be perfect,
Though perfect is so much harder than it seems
If I could do it all over,
My only wish is that I would have done it better
Tonight, I bow my heads to pray
Knowing he's gotten me this far,
As long as I keep believing,
Maybe then all hope wouldn't be lost
There are bulbs brighter than me,
Though I am determined to see,
That there is some greater good in me
Even though I can't express it,
Please don't lose all faith in me
Please don't give up on me
