We value everything
But what happens when the thing
That you value the most gets
Taken from you usually heartbreak
The thing we should truly value is
Friends and family unless their abusive
Then sorry I don't know who you are
But I truly value my friends
We value everything
The reason is because who else
Is gonna tell me what I went through
Was deserved and how the hell
Around me altered me desensitized me
From the most horrifying things humans
Can truly do when the give into the
Evil nature that's in all of us
But also who's gonna let me share
These words with them and tell me
How they felt when reading them
We value everything
But always value friends and family
Because you never know when they
Could be robbed from the world
Because when they become dead
All you'll have are the memories you made
But with me memories are just smoke and ash
But most importantly value yourself
Before anything in the hectic game of life
We value everything
The value you have in yourself
Well it's the greatest weapon you can have
When someone says something
Negative about you but you value yourself
You realize they jealous of you and that
Your better off ignoring their comments
Easier said than done I know even more
So for people like me who lost
Their value in themselves at a young age
I'm still haunted by the words of an abuser
That I'm worthless a mistake better of dead
I know these words aren't true but
I heard them so many times that
They've become accepted as the truth
In my broken and fractured brain
We value everything
I'm trying to break the cycle of words
From my abuser but truth is
Taking a bet against a crossbow
While playing Russian roulette is
An easier task then rewiring my brain
To see myself in a positive light
And even when I'm against those shit odds
You got hold strong because your friends
They believe in you that you can see
Yourself in the light they see you in
We value everything
And when I do see myself in a positive light
It doesn't last very long because those
Words I so desperately try to forget
Flood back into my head courtesy
Of the void how I wish those damn
Words were nothing but smoke and ash
It would make it so much easier to
See myself from an outside perspective
We value everything
