Self-Worth

White, Dave. Sell Yourself. July 1, 2024, Dave White Illustrations.

Lately, I feel worthless.
I needed to find some value in me,
So I sold what I had
For little a fee.

My eyes for a penny
I sold to some fools,
They’re blind and useless,
Mistook for jewels.

My lips for a nickel
To the sweetest sin,
So they’ll know the love
That has never been.

My ears for a dime
I sold to a lover.
To hear sweet nothings,
And silence uncover.

My hands for a quarter
I sold to a ghost,
So that she might feel
What I’ve wanted the most.

Finally my bones for a dollar
I sold to the earth,
But as for my soul-
There was found no worth.

    Anyone tried aaajili2 yet? Saw some ads for it. Looks like a decent enough platform, but I always try things out myself first before committing. Let me know what you think. aaajili2

    Heard about the 18jlappdownload app. Supposedly, it’s got a good range of features but do your research before downloading anything, yeah? Just saying. 18jlappdownload

    “YELLING AT GHOSTS” is a haunting reflection on pain carried from the past—stones thrown, scars revealed, memories that drown.
