Say It Louder
"Why me?"
She sits in the corner of her room
Crying and
Slowly dying
"Is it even worth it?"
Should she end it?
Should she take her own life?
Give those haters what they asked for?
NO!
"Why?"
Because YOU ARE WORTH IT
"But they tell me I'm not worth anything
"That it wouldn't matter if I lived or died"
But
Do you talk to them?
"No"
Do you care about them?
"No"
SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO THEM
"NO"
And why is that?
"Because I am independant.
"I am beautiful.
"I do not care what those haters say.
"I am my own person"
You're what?
"I am my own person."
Say it louder.
Say it again.
Don't stop telling yourself.
SAY IT.
"I am independant.
"I am beautiful.
"I do not care what those haters say.
"I am my own person!"
Say it louder.
Say it again.
"I am my own person!
"I don't let anybody tell me who I am.
"Or what I should be.
"I. Am. Me."
You said it.
