Worthless, this is my protest

I tend to,

Give my all without expectations of receiving something of equal worth

So I end up in bed accompanied by my emptiness

Feeling worth less than the word less

Because I wear my emotions on my face and I can’t seem to separate the

Pain from the passion.

I guess it’s my fault that this happened.

I guess it’s my fault, and since I’m not one to make allegations

I have no patience

I end up accepting less than I deserve, and I’ve always heard

That I can be whatever I want to be, and it’s up to me to turn my daydreams

Into realities, but in reality, the concept of reality is all new to me

I have a problem. I tend to,

Give my all without expectations to, receive something of equal worth

What am I worth?

I’m not sure but my…soul contains the universe

And beauty is in the hush of the trees

Misconceived mix match of half-baked beliefs

But I’m not one to make allegations, I have no patience

Recycled existence of inspiration

I’ve always heard…never judge a book by its cover

So if I’m judged for doing me

That’s another brand new cavity across the meaning of the word humanity

That’s another false rumor spread

Another he said she said text read

Another person’s confidence dead.

But I can solve the California water crisis with the tears that I have not shed.

I wear my emotions on my face, but do not be confused by the lack of emotion that I show.

See, whenever you’re invited to a funeral, we all know that you’re supposed to go, but we do not cry for the ones we do not know

What are you worth?

You are a slave to your mind and can’t see what is, for what it is for.

Helloo, this is the 21st century and we don’t need chains to make slaves out of people anymore.

If you’re lost, insecure, and feeling worthless, give yourself a worth test.

They’ll call you dramatic, but I’ll call you my living protest.
