Tell me I deserve better than this

Tell me I am pretty

Tell me I've struggled, but not like this

Tell me how strong I am

Tell me I have a big heart

Tell me how I look physically exhausted

Tell me I am not alone

Tell me I don't have to be afraid anymore

Tell me how I've hurt you, but you forgive me

Tell me how you understand me

Tell me you've got my back,

Tell me how smart I am

Tell me all of these things

Before I give up on myself

Tell me all of these things before I turn to mass destruction

Tell me these things before he pushes me to far

Tell me these things before it's too late.
