My self worth lost under the surface,

Thrown like pennies down a well,

The water reflecting my face.

All left a doubt filled shell.

My self esteem resting at the bottom,

Just pushing up the water with time.

The wishes i held all but gone,

To become a rusted dime.

My name tied to all this,

Waiting to be scooped up.

With a bucket held by fists,

These sins filling my cup.

My bravery clenched under my lips,

Behind broken skin.

To cry would let it slip,

And join its kin.

Be brave,

Even when you are empty.

…

Love You R
