My self worth is not mine
It is defined by those around
If they're happy it's fine
Even if I'm drowned
Sinking in this cement
Never can I be content

I adore each friend
Because I see a soul
Pain it will amend
Again make me whole
Stave away my torment
As never can I be content

I cannot always rely
On those around me
To help me get by
And set me free
Self love must be my intent
Or else never can I be content

A student wanting to learn
To love who I am
So I never have to yearn
For help when I stand
I can then invent
My own life of content
