Never Give Up
DON'T GIVE UP
I always told others to start seeing their own worth
I started to tell myself I was worthless.
Looking at myself in the mirror and seeing the negatives
I always told others that failing doesn't mean to give up
I told myself I wasn't enough.
curling up in a ball as though I was a toddler
I always told others that life makes you fall but it doesn't mean you failed
I told myself I couldn't do it.
I spent time in my room looking at the fan
I wouldn't eat, sleep, just tears streaming down
But I didn't give up,
Failing didn't stop me,
Not succeeding didn't stop me.
I continued to fight my mind's battles
Success was my goal, failing was an achievement
I decided to focus on the positives.
I told myself I was needed.
I told myself I succeeded.
I told myself failing is a lesson not a crime.
