What Is My Worth

What am I to you? 
What am I worth? 
Can you put a price on it, 
Or am I as low as dirt? 
What is my worth? 
Do I fit your needs? 
Do I make the cut? 
I know I'm not like barbie, 
Because I sure am not stuck up, 
Tell me please, 
What is my worth? 
The maid, 
The wife, 
The mother I came to be? 
Am I worth any of that? 
Because it doesn't seem as if I am worthy, 
To you, 
Or to anybody, 
Especially not to me....
