Worthless
Useless
Helpless
Hopeless
A mess
Distress
Digress
Regress
To less
And less
I am
Unless
I’m not
Reset
Mindset
Forget
Regret
No sweat
No threat
No debt
Abet
Beget
Go get
I can’t
But yet
I can
Gentle
Careful
Prayerful
Dareful
So pull
Live full
Hopeful
Helpful
Useful
Worth-full
I’ll try
Until
I will
Be more
And soar
Adore
Restore
Explore
Care for
Give more
Live for
Live more
Love more
Always
