WorthA Poem by Austin BlayYou have more power than you could possibly imagine. Unleash it and accept your worth.Verse: The spark of divinity lives in us all Creating a need to justify On an anvil of hateful tendencies You believe self worth mattered Clouds of error are lifted Revealing a plan to sacrifice Exchanging lust for passion His back ripped and torn I’ve watched the blood of the poor Spill from the lips of monstrous ideals Living to justify others distaste Relive the regret Im forced to feel Chorus: Prophets foresee misery Removing the wrappings to expose the leper So unkind to the worthless You’ve forgotten yourself Verse: Another day spent wasted Feeding the darkest memories Making it easier to resist And deny all self worth Rules on stone since erased Falling from a mountain of deception Not too late to turn back Donning a crown of thorns
Answering questions with absolution Denying the bias that feeds Tell me I’m worth the pain Before I forget my worth Chorus: Prophets foresee misery Removing the wrappings to expose the leper So unkind to the worthless You’ve forgotten yourself © 2013 Austin Blay |
