Worthless


Ma and Pa tell her every day that baby you are flawless,

She ignores them because she thinks she is worthless.

Every day after school she goes to her room and cries her self to sleep,

Ma and Pa are oblivious to her constant weap.

Until one night they came home and saw their baby laying there,

A pill bottle fallen to the floor, Ma didn't know if she could bear.

We should have helped her, Ma and Pa said,

But now we can't do anything, our baby is dead.

We told her everyday that she is flawless,

But that wasn't enough becuase she thought she was worthless.
