Deep as the Sea

my worth

came from

the opinions

of the people

around me

and from

what I saw

in my mirror

and from

what feats 

I had done

in my days

from

everywhere

but my own

heart

speaking to me

telling me

I am worth more

than the sum

of my parts

telling me

I am

worth more

than what I can give

to others

for we are all

priceless reflections

of the stars

in the night sky

and as deep

as the sea

itself
