Worth Nothing

Will they remember who I was

Where I stayed

Remember the toes falling out of boots

Of how I laid

Will they remember how it started

Or how close I am to the end

Do they just see me as the statistic

Or maybe their sibling, or a lost friend

Will they remember me outside of the store

That woman and her son

Do they think I deserve what I am

Or who I have become

Will they remember that last winter

When the air was so thin

When I was jumped for my leather coat

And left in only my sin

Will they remember I told God to bless them

Even though he forsake me

And when I finally get to see him soon

I’ll be sure to induce some third degree

Will they remember me at all

Did they even know I was here

For those like me, there is no memory

For I’m not even worth a single tear
