I feel like waste. Like the ground beneath me holds more value. Like the ants and worms draw more captivation. Even a breath feels more deserving. As if I could fall into a crowd and the world would miss it. As if I could dissappear tomorrow and concern would drift to the next trend. As if I could work for days and still be asked what purpose I serve. I am held in reserve for superficial gazes, even by those who claim closeness. My worth aligns with disassembled machinery- valued for use, not for being. A cry for acknowledgement that goes unanswered.

The Feeling of Worthlessness
I feel like waste. Like the ground beneath me holds more value. Like the ants and worms draw more captivation. Even a breath feels more deserving. As if I could fall into a crowd and the world would miss it. As if I could dissappear tomorrow and concern would drift to the next trend. As if I could work for days and still be asked what purpose I serve. I am held in reserve for superficial gazes, even by those who claim closeness. My worth aligns with disassembled machinery- valued for use, not for being. A cry for acknowledgement that goes unanswered.
