My Inner Self

I'm always said to be worthless

I'm always said to be sad

Never happy, satisfied, nor glad

And this might be true

But only because

I believed you

I believed every word you said

So never thought positive instead

Never thought my best would be good enough

So I kept it inside and hid

I hid myself from the world

And even

From me

Just so afraid of trying 

Then not being the best I could be

But now I know

That if I let my true self go

It'll be worth the flow

I'll always walk another mile

And I won't let words make my heart rot

Because I know

That I am worth a lot
