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….
