AM I NOT WORTHY?


Giving up the good, for the better.

Am I not worth it?

Giving up the power for self-misery.

Am I not worth it?

 

Leaving behind the known,

for what has been wished for. 

Am I not worth it?

Cutting veins and approaching doomsday 

whilst my heart cries, I wonder, 

Am I worth it?

 

Selfish you are, wandering,

choosing your pain. Offering me

no less than heartache and suffering.

Redundantly affirming it seems.

I am not worth it.
