There's something rather
destructive than the placement
of net worth on an item.
Or in worse cases,
a person.

Your value determined,
at basic level, on those
around you--friend,
family and foe.

Typically, the first two
outweigh the negative
enemy: one's own mind
and those that fuel self
doubt.

But what happens when
it doesn't? When the
familial effort is less
than ideal and you're seen
worthless, or near so,
to them too?

At least, that's how they
treat you anyway.
