I am not worthless

I am not worthless.
I am compassionate.
I am patient with others.
I do my best to see things from their point of view.
This kindness defines me.

I am not worthless.
I am creative.
I thrive when inspired.
I always look for new ways to try, new ideas to explore.
This energy defines me.

I am not worthless.
I keep fighting.
Sailing through an endless storm,
tossed by doubt and hate and fear, crushed by judgement, battered by failure.
The fact I survive defines me.

I am not worthless.
I am determined.
I have succeeded.
Despite all the words from the past and present and the thoughts of what might have been.
This strength defines me.

I am not worthless.
I am compassionate and creative
I keep fighting, determined to be me.
