"You"

Merissa

Beauty is everything
Which some believe is true
I think what matters
Is anything of you

Don’t care what others think
I believe in you
Nothing they say
Is actually true

You make who you are
So become someone great
Forget about others
Create a new slate

They hurt themselves
So they put it on you
Doesn’t mean they’re bad
Just in pain too

Lend them a hand
You’re strong enough
Maybe they’ll change
And learn to be tough

You are worth it
They don’t really know
What you can do
It’s your time to glow

You should be more
That’s what they say
But really inside
They feel they are prey

Being mean to others
Will take the pain away
But is that what happens
Nothing works that way

Trying and fighting
To change who they are
Nothing they do
Will go very far

Learn from their mistakes
And realize you’re good
You make your life
They are where you stood

You can reach higher
Than ever before
Just never give up
And fall to the floor

Let them hear the song
That you cry out at night
I know that’s it’s hard
But keep up the fight

They need to know your story
So they’ll understand
That they’re not alone
There’s more than one strand

Don’t hold a grudge
From the hurt they inflict
You’ve done it as well
You’re not the only one picked

It’s a chaotic chain
Of circling sorrow
But you can get out
And others will follow

You’re never alone
And neither are they
Forgive their issues
It’s better that way
