Through the tinted glass

Sometimes, I've to wonder if the world is better off without me
In my head, that statement is, without a doubt, true
After all, what value or significance do I have to share
I'm just a waste of space, according to numerous peoples
But for some odd reason that I don't seem to comprehend
My friends believe otherwise
They are convinced that I do have importance
According to them, I have numerous things
A good friend, trustworthy, funny, and so many other
But I'm finding it difficult that I'm all these despite numerous affirmation
So then there lies a few questions for me to answer eventually
Who is right here? Me or them
If they're right, then have I been viewing myself through tinted glass?
Have I been wrong about everything about myself?
Am I or can I be all these things they described?
Can I finally be joyful for once instead of melancholy?
I… don't know these responses yet
I don't imagine that I can find it dashing away from here
Neither would terminate my life early, too
Time will have a massive hand in it, won't it?
Perhaps one day in the future, I will be better
For now, maybe I should hear to my friends
They haven't led me wrong
And… I  highly doubt they will ever
