Low self esteem

A Poem by Dvfine

This is about feelings I have had in the past, when I've been at my lowest.

I feel worthless, yes useless, good for nothing at all,
I don't excel at anything, I struggle to stand tall.
I don't know much about anything, I forget everything I'm told,
I lack skills and strategy, I must be getting old.
I don't seem to plan ahead or know what to say,
I'm glad when the clock chimes and it's the end of another day.
I look at everyone else and realise how smart they appear,
I just seem to be clueless and have no idea.
I seem to be jack of all trades but master of none,
Just ask me questions and it all comes undone.
I try to remember that personal qualities matter more,
That the humble are the ones that will make it through the door,
But sometimes I wish I was blessed with more thinking ability,
So that I could make my thoughts and ideas a reality.
I don't think I'll ever win Nobel prizes or any accolade,
I'll leave it to those who are already made.
I just want to be happy in my ignorant state,
But it's difficult when myself I berate
For being so clueless and hopeless at most things,
I'm giving up to the night now and let's see what tomorrow brings.
