They search for worth, but find only rejection

In the depths of darkness, lost souls reside,

Once vibrant spirits, now swallowed by the tide.

Struggling to find meaning, they wander alone,

Their worth obscured, like stars no longer shown.

Once they shone brightly, with purpose and light,

But life's storms dimmed their glow, concealed from sight.

They feel adrift in a vast, uncaring sea,

Lost in a world that seems to never see.

In the shattered mirrors of their own reflection,

They search for worth, but find only rejection.

Their hearts weighed down by burdens too heavy to bear,

Their once radiant souls obscured by despair.

Oh, lost souls, know you're not defined by your plight,

Your worth transcends the darkest of nights.

Though scars may mark you, and tears leave their trace,

Within you still reside the beauty and grace.

The journey to rediscover your value and worth,

May be challenging, but you're not alone in this berth.

Reach out to others, let connections be made,

In the embrace of love, healing can be displayed.

For amidst the pain, hope can find its way,

Like a gentle sunbeam on a cloudy day.

Remember, lost souls, you're deserving of love,

A precious creation, a gift from above.

Embrace the journey, let self-compassion flow,

In your heart's depths, let self-worth grow.

For within you lies a resilient spirit, unbound,

A lost soul no more, but truly found.
