Depression antagonizing anxiety Questioning my position Too far from Heaven God can't reach me Too lost in the dark The devil can't find me Hopes for happiness An irrelevant fantasy Dreams of love Become phantasmal Yet the yearning for the warmth An addictive pain Overly satisfying desire Am I worth it I know I'm not worth The lead in the chamber The price of the rope The bleach or the shovel Or the memory of a sidewalk stain Not worth the sway of second hands Or the hands I want to hold I've become nothing Worth nothing Scrounging for attention and success Hoping someone would see in me What I can't see in myself Growing ever so deeply in hatred Towards myself Knowing the tendencies I have The habits I've formed Trying to protect myself From a world dead set On destroying me Only to realize it succeeded In more ways Than what I was prepared for Questioning myself every hour What am I worth When all I have is the love Of a little girl Barely knowing who I am Eating at myself For allowing it to be like this Knowing nothing I could have done Would have stopped this from happening In just another form it would have taken What am I worth Someone please tell me Give me a straight answer Show me I'm not wandering Aimlessly into an abyss Recklessly living just for nothing Something has to add up When will the things I desire in life Come to fruition Without having to struggle To fight not only the world But myself included
