Poems by a Nobody

Special

Compliments and praises
Are just words and phrases
I'd always deny
Might as well pretend to be happy

I smile and thank them so,
But little do they know
I know that they lie
Even I know that I'm crappy

Then they say "No, please."
"Don't think so lowly
Of yourself!"
Spare me all the pity

A useless, worthless kid
So petty and timid
Do you get it now?
There's not much to love about me

"Do not criticise",
"Don't you realise
How much you're worth?"
No offence, but I'm a failure since birth

Despite all I say
You still continue
I wish that I knew
What makes you think I'm so special?
