Who Am I

What good am I when in so much pain What good am I if I cannot bring better life to family What good is this body if it keeps breaking down I am A tiny spec of dust, swept along by emotional tides Worthless to so many in a world full of selfishness What good can I do when the goings been so tough I am A lonely soul hanging on by a golden thread Barely able to see light through encompassing darkness What’s left for me in this crazy world when no one cares Who am I?

I wonder how many fight these same thoughts, thinking no one else understands. May they see they are not alone, and may they help another find the priceless worth that they are. This is the heart of many Paula. Though I hope maybe not yours :)
