Worthless

Worthless is a word that could be used if you wanted to describe me.
To be worthless, something must be worth nothing.
I submit to you that I am worth nothing.
I have done nothing on significance in my life.
Indeed, the hallmark of my life is failure.
Or indifference, which is even worse.
I know nothing of who I am, nor do I know what I shall do.
And while it is no crime to not know what you will do with yourself,
it is a crime if you do not know because you simply do not truly care about anything.
And I fit this crime.
My life is a stagnant mediocrity
Which only perpetually feed upon itself.
People talk about trying to get out of a rut,
Well my rut has become my universe
And it has insurmountable walls.
So in a rut of mediocrity I imagine I'll continue,
Maintaining a lack of worth, only a drain on society as a whole,
For not even my dreams are worthwhile, for I ceased dreaming the few I had a long while ago.
Look at me, world, for I am the image of the fall of mankind:
Dreamless, hopeless, careless, and indifferent.
All the gravest sins of mankind are manifest in me.
Worthless I am.
