Worthless

I’m an *******, that’s plain to see 
My fault, and hate being me 
Hard to change and hate what I’ve become
I call it a monster, you say I'm not one
Regrets and my biggest is you had to know me 
I hate being a burden, but hate worse being lonely 
I’m not suicidal, not not afraid of death 
Hated and forgotten are the only fears I have left 
And it's something that I always feel
Afraid of losing those I love, afraid of being real 
And it's not easy to cope with 
If I were hated or forgotten by you I couldn’t stand it 
And I’m aware; you tell me not to worry 
I don’t think you understand how hard it is to stop 
You’ve told me often, I know my thoughts are stupid 
I just wish once you'd tell me I'm not so worthless 
...I just wish I wasn’t so worthless….
