    I have been there myself. I love the phrase " You could say I'm depressed,
    Or you could say I just have a lack of love for whatever kind of life this is. "
    I have heard it said that a problem shared is a problem halved. I hope you find writing as therapeutic as I do.

      I do, actually. Writing has always been a way to get things out, to be honest without being judged.

    Wow. Intense. If this is from a first person POV, I would just encourage you to carefully consider letting others "seeing your worth" as an indicator of your happiness. Obviously, the people we let in closest to us have a large impact on who we are/become... but at the same time, the only one you know can never leave you is the person in the mirror.

      It is from a first person POV yes.
      Also, in the last couple lines the speaker isn't saying that he/she is depending on others seeing his/her worth to be happy.
      The poem takes present place but is looking back and the last couple lines specifically indicate the the speaker may have had self esteem issues at one point. With that, the way the last two lines are worded indicate that the speaker possibly ran into someone who was trying to help him/her see it, and now they're not around, so (assuming) that that person was of importance to the speaker, the speaker is having self worth issues.
      Make sense?

    Hang on. I think I have a poem that responds to this situation.
    Or, I'll just make one.
    In any case I'll send you it
