WORTH

Self worth vs insecurites

Worth

 

Nights are lonely when I’m without you

Don’t know exactly what it is about you

That’s got me thinking that my life needs mending

From all the negative thoughts I been sending

 

You come across like an angel rising

Make me look inside and start analyzing

Why I self destruct instead of moving forward

Trying to hide inside myself like some kind of coward

 

You see me when I’m hiding underground

You seem to know just when to come around

Breathing life into this empty shell

From heaven you come into my private hell

 

I know you think I’m worth your time to see

If you can save what’s left inside of me

If you can find the part of me worth living

The part worthy of the love you’re giving

 

But you don’t know the ugly truth of me

That lies behind the mask I let you see

You don’t see the lies that I’ve been telling

The careful words that I’ve been selling

 

I’m no good for one as innocent as you

I’ll break your heart before our time is through

You’ll turn to look for me and I’ll be gone

Just like we knew I would all along

 

Don’t say a word, just let me walk away

Cause if you ask me I will have to stay

I’m not as strong as I need to be

To deny me what I want for me

 

But if you think my heart might be worth saving

That I could be someone to be worth having

Then say the words and I’ll be yours forever

And we can conquer the world together 

Author's Note

This piece is best read aloud to a quick beat, like a Rap. At least that is how I heard it in my head when I wrote it.
