Self-Worth

White, Dave. Selling Yourself Short. July 1, 2024, Dave White Illustrations.

White, Dave. Raging Sea. February 14, 2025, Dave White Illustrations.

Lately, I feel worthless. I needed to find some value in me, So I sold what I had For little a fee.
My eyes for a penny I sold to some fools, They’re blind and useless, Mistook for jewels.
My lips for a nickel To the sweetest sin, So they’ll know the love That has never been.
My ears for a dime I sold to a lover. To hear sweet nothings, And silence uncover.
My hands for a quarter I sold to a ghost, So that she might feel What I’ve wanted the most.
Finally my bones for a dollar I sold to the earth, But as for my soul- There was found no worth.

Jimenez, Kiana. “Self-Worth.” Poetic Bipolar Mind: Unraveling Life’s Threads Through Art and Words, 2024, p. 7.
