there's nothing i can offer
except for my tears—
they too have now lost
their flavour...
all that's left is water...
plain and insipid;
not even worth a salt.
a day will come when
it will...dissipate as well
and i will have nothing
... nothing to offer
not even tears...

Piercing. It stings. It’s soo good. Very emotional, raw, and deep. This is a great poem.

You're a great writer... And an awesome person who is thoroughly in touch with yourself and your emotions. I suspect you'll have more to offer then tears in the end. I can relate to feeling down on yourself... I struggle with a low self esteem also. Heck, I've been there myself lately. My inspiration to write has been pretty measly recently.
Here's to better days! I hope you feel better soon *hugs*

It's the bad/horrible experiences in life, plus some personal issues that has left me with depression and a low self esteem... I don't know whom to blame... People.. me or my bad luck.... I guess, it just boils down to 'Me' .... Since I'm someone who is too sensitive and take to heart what people say, the negative opinion of people about me in my formative years impacted me adversely...i developed a low self esteem... and depression has always been like my shadow. it took me years to crawl out of low self esteem pit...but making wrong choices can be attributed to such low opinion about myself and hence that altered my life in such a way that it nearly ruined it... I'm still bearing the after effects of those choices made and that has led to a chronic depression.
Anyway, now I don't care a fuck of what people think about me... They already did a lot to damage me.... I'm trying to heal myself... I still have lot of will power and determination left to improve my situation. :)
I'm sorry to hear that you too are feeling low. You are a beautiful poet... Intelligent, creative and above all a great human being.... There is no reason that you should live with a low self esteem...you are a wonderful soul, NB... 😊🌹
Thank you so much, dearest poet for being so thoughtful. I highly appreciate your encouragement.
