Poem: I'm Trying to Find

[zetasyanthis]

I'm trying to find my worth inside.
I'm trying to find my worth.
It's been before inside myself.
T'was given t' me at birth.

And yet when I feel empty
and when I feel ashamed
I will resolve to hold that spark,
to hold on to my name.

I will not let this threat take hold
that threatens to take life.
I will not be beaten by it.
I will not lose my life.

I will not quit; I will not fail
for my life is at stake.
I will not tarry, delay long.
I cannot risk mistakes.
