Trapped in my mind

But never mind

It’s only me

An unremarkable being

At least, that’s all you’re seeing

They tell us we’re all individuals

With many talents and skills

Mine must be deeply hidden

Lust has been forbidden

And love, what is that?

Only for those with heads screwed on properly I think

Who know what they want

Who know who they are

Happy in their skins

An inbuilt confidence and sense of worth

So I must conclude

I am worthless.
