which way to read it? you choose

Your existence is worthless
never believe
there's hope for you
gaze into a mirror
you are nothing
cease telling yourself
you are somebody in this world
no one deserves you
don't let anyone tell you
you are beautiful
now read it backwards :)

These reverse kind of poems are so neat. A guy named Mike Bayles sometimes writes this way here at Soup. Much better read upward!

Wow that is incredible. The definition of poetry is best words in their best order. You have turned this rule upside down. Kudos. SuZ
