Am I worth living?

Manya

Free verse
The urge to disappear out of people's lives and be completely forgotten,
te detachment this time feels so real that i can imagine myself conflating into the clouds, lying on my stomach in an amorphous form.

This constant urge to ooze out of this heavy and awful body, and flow into those valleys where no one recognizes you, and these thoughts of being worthless rest for a while.
 
This constant state of questioning myself "do i even belong here" because
Between these witty and intellectual beings, is this dumb and demure girl worth living?
