Encouragement

I'm not sure how to tell you that you aren't worthless

In a way that you'll believe it

You're convinced your lie is the truth

That your value is void

Like a coupon that expired a long time ago

And it was only a dollar off such-and-such anyway

But people care about your life

Your death would ripple around your lake

Like skyscrapers falling in

On all the little minnows

Guessing yourself like a gameshow

Maybe it's all you've ever known

But I'd wish much better for you

Than to fall off the earth into

Some other thing

To be worthless is to play pretend

Act like no one could ever care

But aren't there stranger things to happen?

Don't believe the insecure notions

You keep in your pocket

To hurt yourself on like a barb wire locket

Well, don't throw away the key
