Worthless or Treasure


I have no power

I have no knowledge

I feel so hopeless

I feel like a coward

 

Is this possibility

Or is this delusional grandiose?

Am I capable?

Or am I to suffer?

 

Am I worthless or am I treasure?

 

A gem in the dark 

Has no idea of its gleam

But when diamonds are worthless, 

well what does that mean?

 

My influence of yes men

Has brought me so low

I need a true friend 

Someone who know's how to say no

 

Are these struggles to make me stronger

Or just blind persecution

My mind is so broken

Maybe I need an institution

 

The highs and the lows 

Make me wonder if it gets better

 

Is my existance worthless

Or will this pain produce treasure?
