Extreme sense of worthlessness

‘Extreme sense of worthlessness’

Never sounds that poetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Sometimes feels totally prophetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Can feel well beyond pathetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Where is my mind’s prosthetic?

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Is really beyond splenetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

And I am so unsympathetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Where is my life’s anaesthetic?

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Forgive my long homiletic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

Unfolds a sad life bathetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

As good as any emetic

An extreme sense of worthlessness

And I question my esthetic
