Worth

Am I worth maybe a quarter or a dime
Am I possibly worth any of your time
I look in the mirror
but my image is not much clearer
everything is blurry
but I am not even worried
everyone around me is in a hurry
The street lights dance red, green and yellow on the sky
everyone is in a hurry they continue to pass me by
I never fail to go un noticed I blend into the night
I am so dim, you can't see my light
I know I am worth less than a penny
it's pointless to count how many
I see no point is crying
there's no use trying
to get you to see that I am so much more
than another reason for you to slam the door
in my face
to you I am just a disgrace
something that is easy to misplace
Because of you I will never be worth anything more
because you were never willing to see my inner core
you see everything on her body that glistens
you have no reason to talk to her or even listen
I bet she's easy
and the thought of being with me makes you queasy
all those nauseating conversations
makes you feel like you had a castration
you prefer someone with no substance at all
someone you will never have to catch when she falls
I know what I am worth, a penny and not one cent more
