Worth

How much am I worth?
Am I worth the price of someone's life?
Am I even worth the price of love?
Have I earned along the way the comforts of each day?
Am I worth someone else to be near and hold me close and call me dear?
Of what measure is my worth?
Is it for better or for worse?
How much worth do my parents place upon my character?
And of my friends where do I stand on their placement ladder?
Of how much worth to society do I hold?
Is it written in small letters or in bold?
Am I worth the time for someone to know?
Or am I worthless with nothing to show?
 How is worth defined?
Is it all the same or are there different kinds?
Is my worth measured by what the mass's say?
Or am I measured by following the rules of my countries way?
Am I measured by how smart I am?
Or tossed aside as a sham?
Who wrote the rules of worth and named its price?
Has anyone attained it in this life?
Is worth how much money I make?
Or would I be viewed as a fake?
Is it how much land I own?
Or fame that seeps into my skin and bones?
Must I do great things and win great honor?
Or do deeds that no one notices till I am a goner?
Must my name be written in every news?
Must I be a doctor a lawyer or a humbler work can I choose?
 Worth, Worthless
Who judges where we stand?
Or what we can't do or what we can?
Is there no one that can judge me justly?
Can I myself a justly judge be?
Is there no one? 
Who can do it rightly done?
But then I stopped writing and looked at the sky
And I know the answer of how worthy am I
