I wonder what it would be like if the tables were turned You could have all the knowledge that I’ve learned But hurt in a way that wasn’t earned Swap you’re heart for one that yearns I wonder if you hurt like the ones who are alone The ones they would disown A reality you can’t postpone All the more real when you are grown I wonder if you spent a day ignored Feeling like who you are just makes them bored Everyday leaving you floored Alone in the world Would you stand up for yourself Or hide behind a smile What is easier? Facing your fears or letting the pain compile Or you could just give up Not give yourself another day But that’s no solution There has to be a better way Some might pray Some might run away But you can choose to love yourself anyway

Self love
I wonder what it would be like if the tables were turned You could have all the knowledge that I’ve learned But hurt in a way that wasn’t earned Swap you’re heart for one that yearns I wonder if you hurt like the ones who are alone The ones they would disown A reality you can’t postpone All the more real when you are grown I wonder if you spent a day ignored Feeling like who you are just makes them bored Everyday leaving you floored Alone in the world Would you stand up for yourself Or hide behind a smile What is easier? Facing your fears or letting the pain compile Or you could just give up Not give yourself another day But that’s no solution There has to be a better way Some might pray Some might run away But you can choose to love yourself anyway
