Addict for appreciation

by caroline-ward

Why do I place My self worth Into others Blindly trusting them With my heart and my soul My faith in others. I live for the high Of the value and trust They give to me Their priority The feeling of being needed Appreciated But this isn't a gift Instead a loan That is cruelly ripped away Given to someone else. Leaving me low As if after a sugar boost A false sense of energy or fulfilment Grasping and snatching Scraping Like an addict Desperate for the scraps Trapped in self loathing Disgust Until I can place my worth In another disappointment.
