Nuisance

A poem about the effects of low self-esteem and the realisation that it shouldn't be this way

I'm afraid that I am a nuisance

I'm sorry, am I bothering you?

I'm afraid that I am a nuisance

To friends and family too.

I'm afraid that I'm being a nuisance

Am I taking up all of your time?

I'm afraid that I'm being a nuisance

I pretend that I'm doing just fine.

I do feel that I'm a nuisance

Am I taking up too much space?

I do feel that I'm a nuisance

Like I don't have the right to a place.

What would make me so much of a nuisance?

How could I be so bad?

What would make me so much of a nuisance?

To miss chances I should have had.

I'm tired now of being a nuisance

I'm going to take my place in the world!

I'm tired now of being a nuisance

I'll be the wild woman with the curls!

God's child can't be a nuisance

God's children shine the light

God's child can't be a nuisance

She's a beauty shining bright.
