My Worth

My worth

Is filled within dark circles

Bubbled in with 

Soft lead 

Nothing outside the lines 

My worth 

Is sometimes expressed as

A number 

First, 27

Then, 29

My worth 

Is sometimes expressed on 

A scale

Consistently 

4.0

My worth 

Is what they determine, 

What they see fit

What they see will 

Conform 

This is what I believed. 

Now, 

My worth cannot be expressed with a 

Test. 

My worth cannot be expressed with a 

Number. 

My worth cannot be expressed with a 

Range. 

My worth will never be determined by what others consider 

Fit. 

I determine

My worth

And I have determined that 

I am worthy 

Of much more than what

They offer.
