Worthless

Worthless…That’s what you say we think are
Kept around so we appear the better
Not wanted at all
Useless. Going nowhere in this life.
Never achieving anything.
That’s what you say we think you are.

You push us away,
Further each day.
Offers of help and sympathy,
Meet with anger and shouting of
“You don’t understand! ! ! ”
But when sympathy is looked for
And none given due to what
You said last time we tried to offer help.
You cry and say we do not care.

We do care. We will help. We think the world of you.
But it is you who are pushing us away.
