Worthless

I've been called names you never want to hear,

There was no place for me to reside out there.

I was just a burden, conflated in conflicts,

How hard I tried, yet nobody I could please.

I want to say someone have faith in me,

A susurrus of encouragement for me to flee,

If I could, in the open to find myself for once,

Even if it means to take on some burns.

I'd stopped thinking what others think, long back,

When I smelled petrichor of freedom I once lacked.

To say I was trapped in world of cruel words,

They used to hurl at me but now they won't hurt.

I've been worthless for too long and now,

I've my fair share of fetching words I vowed.

For myself, don't want to let myself down,

Like before dragging up from pit of worthless bound.
