Worthless

One mistake has made life worthless
society looks down
turning away from their own
 Known as an outcast 
condemned for a single sin
stones are cast
 burying deeper into the pit
no one knows this pain
nor the load that comes along with it
 Treating this life as it were worthless
though not bringing it into existence
so quick condemn
 Forgiveness you speak 
its actions you refuse to teach
so ready to end a life
but one you refuse to save
 Destroy me
you have counted my life as nothing
