Useless

Useless seems to be a word I’m feeling much of lately My reflection though it cant be heard Will constantly debate me On what another’s motives are And if it lacks sincerity Or if it starts to pull apart The one thing that takes care of me Sometimes we try to pretend There is no rhyme or reason But it leaves you in the end To bandage every lesion How could another’s lack of pride Pretend to ever put you first Will it be others that decide Just what life thinks I’m really worth
