Free
You are free
i am too
you are you
and keep that true
to yourself
and to myself
whether you're sick
or back in health
your worth does not change
nor does it rearrange
the only opinion worthy and true
is not by me but only you
you matter to others
you may not matter to yourself
but what is most important
is not self love
but self worth
without self worth
there would be no self love
since you're in charge of your body and mind
push will soon come to shove
if you don't learn to open up
to nobody but you
then the only person who you can trust the most
is you
but how
you ask
how can you trust
the embodiment of anxiety
and distrust
in thyself
how can i believe in someone
who can look up to anyone
who knows how to make it
knows how to make it
in this disease of a world
when you're brainwashed for dead
until they make you hurl
up an answer
to their sick question of a joke
and you choke
after they say "Answer me."
"And the answer," says you
"You are free."
"I am too."
