Worthwhile

Worthwhile

A sense of accomplishment is all he asks, or a wink and a smile,

Something to say that he has worth, is that too much to ask?

Always floating down the halls, a happy face is difficult to be;

When deep inside, as hard as he tries, he never feels worthwhile.

To say he’s always sad, is a to misunderstand his feelings—

What he really means to say is this, oh never mind, you’ve already walked away.

Can you not see, I want more than this?

Do I need to beg?

I just want a warm, friendly touch, a conversation?

A little slice of happiness, just to know I exist.

They say he is a friendly chap, the real life of the show.

But I know for a fact that his doubts prevail, whenever he’s not on stage.

Is he loved, is he needed? Do they even care?

Nobody knows, they’re too busy to show, he really is worthwhile.
