SELF WORTH
Looking down on myself is one of the mistakes I've made in life,
Wallowing in what I never saw as lies,
There were many things I could not do because I felt so inferior ,
I hid myself in what I saw as shelter and made sure I built high walls.

Being belittled at a young age is what I had gotten used to,
Finding it hard to know the difference between lies and truth ,
Looking at everybody, I felt they were better than me,
Until I met someone who told me I could be who I had always wanted to be

"You are perfect in your own way, don't let anyone deceive you.
You can do what everybody else can do; how will you know if you don't give it a try?
You don't need to be anybody else; you just need to be you.
Go into the world and show them you don't need to hide."

I am a treasure without a price
All I wanna do is keep my shoulders high
I know I am unique you don't need to talk
You don't need to value me, I know I'm worth it all
