You Were Never Worthless! Poem by nicola forbes

You were NEVER worthless!
Your conscience told a lie
instead you heard the cruellest words
that made a small child cry
you were NEVER worthless
your soul refused to grow
the lack of love, the push, he shove
taught you what you should know!
You were NEVER worthless
its you who was let down
The lack of praise, as you were raised
was one of the loudest sounds
You were NEVER worthless
the words they used were untrue
you are one of a kind with a marvellous mind
and its time to start loving you
you were NEVER worthless
there's too much beauty in you
expose this con and you'll move on
to the life you were always due


You were NEVER worthless!
