Am I Something?

I'm nothing to him, unless there's lace on my chest.

I'm nothing to him, unless he tells all the rest.

I'm nothing to him, but my body is a treasure.

But I am not my body, I am not something to measure.

I am not just a body, I am my soul.

You can't touch, cut or grope it.

I am something, but he doesn't see it.

Because at night I sit behind my phone screen

Wanting to cry and scream

Because all they ever see

Is my body and not me

And because of him, they see nothing

And now it's hard to see that I am something

That I am valid, valued, but really just on the verge

Of trying to converge

The hate I am given with the love i am supposed to supply

And with tears down my face, all I can do now is sigh

And pray to a god who I am certain isn't there, or at least anymore

After time i felt abandoned, stopped kneeling to pray on the floor

But now kneeling to please.

Because I am nothing to him, just something he can squeeze.

And on the lonely nights where i wish to forget

All that i did that leaves me with regret

I'm fighting an uphill battle, yet spiralling down simultaneously.

But the spiral ends here, the spiral ends now

I am worth more, and i will show them how

I am something.
