Poetry “Worth”

Worth

What am I worth 

Am I worth your time

Am I worth your money

Am I worth your time if you get nothing back

Am I worth your money if you don’t gain but lack

What I am worth so you don’t remain the same

That is your goal to receive the pleasure and no pain

I am never the same every time you take

You take pieces, more pieces with no way for me to escape

I can’t escape the drain on my heart on my soul

I can’t escape the cycle that has become my worth

You give so little 

You take so much

Took so much with a touch

Am I worth happiness

Am I worth peace of mind

Am I worth a life without pain and grief

Am I worth your time

Am I worth your effort

Am I worth your money

My only worth is in my own mind 

Life has taught me to leave hopes and dreams behind.
