SELF WORTH
MY SELF WORTH FEELS LITTLE TO NONE
I FEEL AFTER THIS DIVORCE
I'M STRUGGLING TO HEAL
SHE SEEMS SO HAPPY AND CONTENT
I LOST
AND SHE WON
MY SELF WORTH IS LITTLE TO NONE
I FEEL I LOST ALL
AND ALL SHE WON
I LOOK AT HER
SHE SEEMS SO VIBRANT AND HAPPY AND BRIGHT
FOR ME, MY FAMILY OF 36 YEARS IS BROKEN AND SHATTERED
AND I FEEL NO DELIGHT
FOR HER SHE IS SMILING LAUGHING AND DRESSING WELL
FOR ME I WRITE MY POEM, SO MY FEELINGS, I CAN TELL
SHE HAS A NEW LIFE, HER FREEDOM AND SINGLE, ALONE
I DON'T EVEN SPEAK TO HER NO MORE ON THE PHONE
THERE'S NOTHING MORE FOR US TO SAY
SHE HAS CHOSEN TO GO HER OWN WAY
SHE NEEDS ME NO MORE
SHE HAS HER OWN LIFE
HAPPILY ALONE FOR SURE
SHE HAS FORGOTTEN I HAVE EVER FOR HER DID
SHE FORGOT HOW I DID MY BEST TO LOVE AND RAISE EVERY KID
SO I LOOK AT HER NOW
SHE IS SO HAPPY AND CONTENT
I THINK OF ALL MY LIFE
ALL MY TIME AND MONEY I SPENT
I FEEL BROKEN AND BENT
SHE ACTS BRAND SHINING NEW
AND I FEEL DAMAGED WITH DENT
I HAVE TO MOVE ALONG AND FORGET I EVER HAD A WIFE
SHE IS HAPPY, SINGLE, WITH A NEW EXCITING LIFE
SHE DOES NOT NEED ME AT ALL
SHE ACTS SO TOUGH, SO HARD, SO INVINCIBLE
AND HAS NO FEAR SHE WILL FALL
ONCE SHE NEEDED ME FOR EVERYTHING
HAPPINESS ALL MY LIFE
TO HER I DID MY BEST TO BRING
NOW I SEE THAT MY BEST FOR HER WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
IT WAS SO MUCH LESS
I AM DOING MY BEST NOW TO PASS THIS TEST
MY SELF WORTH FEELS LITTLE TO NONE
I AM ALONE AND HAVE NO ONE
I AM TRYING TO HANG ON TO MY CHILDREN THE BEST THAT I CAN
I AM A BROKEN MAN
MY SELF WORTH IS VERY LOW
MY LIFE HAS LITTLE GLOW
I'M TRYING MY BEST TO LET IT GO AND BE DONE
BUT I FEEL ALL I HAVE LOST AND ALL SHE WON
WHEN I WAS WORKING ALL DAY ALL MY MONEY TO HER
THE COURT ORDERED ME TO PAY
NOW I QUIT MY JOB AND I HAVE NO MONEY LEFT TODAY
SHE IS A GAMBLER ALL HER LIFE
AND SHE CASHED ME IN
AND WON THE JACKPOT, GREAT.
IT'S OVER AND DONE
NOT A WORD BETWEEN US
NO MORE DEBATE
SHE DIVORCED ME
SHE GOT HER WAY
SHE CUT ME DEEP
EIGHT KIDS, THIRTY SIX YEARS OF MARRIAGE
SHE CUT ME
FOR HER I WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO KEEP
I DO NOT FEEL AT MY BEST
I FEEL SO MUCH LESS
IN MY LIFE I AM TRYING TO PASS THIS TEST
A NEW DAY HAS BEGUN
ALL BATTLES THROUGH CHRIST ARE WON
