As like my poem “Last Time” I am going to let this piece speak for itself first — and allow whoever reads it to not have their perception of it affected by my own until after it has been read.
Of Worthlessness & Worth.
I forgive you.
Because you’re worthless.
You took something from me.
Because you’re worthless.
Something I can never get back.
Because you’re worthless.
I’m a better person now.
Because you’re worthless.
I have perspective and understanding now.
Because you’re worthless.
You are worthless.
I hope you become of worth.
This world needs more of that.
I hope you become of worth.
Bitterness is a poison.
I hope you become of worth.
My wish for you is to learn humility.
I hope you become of worth.
People do not need the pain you are capable of weaving.
I hope you become of worth.
I will never stop loving you.
I hope you become of worth.
Be worthful.
This poem has a bit of a double meaning for me. I have written it to represent my journey about a betrayal from one of my very closest friends of whom I cannot any longer give myself to. They hurt me too much, and in a way where as egotistical as it sounds; they do not deserve my presence. Ever again.
This poem also represents me speaking to the woman who molested me in pre-school. I have not been able to express anything about it in writing since I first remembered of the ordeal in high school. It has taken me this long to write something towards her.
As usual, this piece has given me great release and closure from these experiences. I feel I can properly move on now.
On a more positive aside — this is the very first thing I have written in my new book for poetry. It was purchased during a friend’s birthday at the Renaissance Festival this past weekend and is pictured in the featured photo. 100% handcrafted paper and hand treated bound leather.
I felt this piece was the perfect starting point for this new book, and for this chapter of my life where writing is once again a part of me. I feel whole again.
Thank you for reading.

This was moving. Thank you for sharing. Poetry is a powerful way of catching emotion and yours touched me. I think when we can say we hope the other party can become worthwhile, we’ve reached some acceptance.
I like the way you used different forms of the word worth throughout to create rhythm as well as express your thoughts. Thanks!
