Dear Uselessness,
You are not going anywhere
I'll say it as it is: You are worthless with no cause.
You need a reason.
You need one.
Just a single request.
I'm not beggging for your mother's sake.
For yours
For yours.
My plea is simple: believe in yourself as a being.
A true figure worth something.
Special.
Beautiful.
Know who you are because if not, you are a waste of space on this earth.
Have confidence that you can love.
Learn for yourself, pass your spirit onto others as I pour my words into this letter.
Feel.
Wrap yourself around another's skin.
You can be that mouse and have the cheese.
Lift yourself beyond.
Beyond the nature of your birth into a world of life.
Grow into the inspiration.
Not the de-motivation.
Love,
Yourself

I started writing this letter to someone else until I realized that I was writing this poem to myself.
