Worth

Wish I could just disappear.
Right now, I don't think about my future.
I just want to disappear in this world that's so unfair.

Well, maybe I'm lazy and silly.
I'm not one of the many who can make people smile the whole day.
I'm useless, that's what other people say.

Yes, I have no fancy gift to give to anyone I see.
But I have something in me that they don't see.
Maybe they'll see it when they won't be able to see me.

Author's Note

I was depressed when I wrote this. This was when I felt those people around me didn't see my worth, and won't see it unless I die, because sometimes people only see your worth and talk about how good you are only when you're dead. That's how I felt that time, but instead of ending my life, I just wrote a poem about how I felt that time because I can't dare take my own life.
To those who are in pain either physically or mentally or both, I hope you'll find the courage to continue living even you probably feel like you're dying.

I enjoyed this poem because it's real and I read your note. You could be poetry in motion and people still wouldn't get it. I love how positive your note is. Everyone should read this. tyfs
