“Worth It”

Marizen © 04/23/2009

questionin’ my worth
durin’ unstable times
and uncertain worlds
wonderin’ if i’m actually worth
all the work
but every word
just seems to escape me
answers hide
and i
go seek
but it’s like
we speak
in broken languages
now, how can i manage dis-
cussions i can’t even decipher?
then again, how can i give up
when i never gave in?
how do i know
if i don’t even try first?
