The 'With You' Is Silent

The "With You" is Silent By:Valerie Odom February 27,2020 Am i worth more than what my past treated me? Everything is applied But my eye suggest that I'm not really apart of the Brady Bunch Just a hunch We all've felt it Some people have smelt it, dealt it The wires are cut, unconnected That little voice in my head, Do I listen? Im so tempted This feels like something i just "dreamted" Social media a b-tch for letting me see that post I'd rather go ghost I cant be the host for my own funeral Everyday in the background it gets uncomfortably comfortable I feel like a bench warmer Barely made it through try outs Theres another girl to join her When people dont speak Why do tweets feel more and more personal? And when things dont go right Why do we feel less like a dime and more like a penny? Am I worth more than what my past treated me? Ive had more love in my heart taken and im not even 20 Why do my dreams show me the life I wish i had Am i that bad That i cant even reach this type of love This is all new to me By the time i could fully understand The coach has his team and im the one cut I'd rather escape to my dreams and throw away the key Am I worth more than what my past treated me?
