Tell

by Trinity Rayne

All of the familiar bad voices in your head that ring a bell and you hate yourself enough to yell
All of the unhealthy choices you made turned you into a shell
All of it is torment and trauma laced with hell
All you have to do is change the narrative to go on and tell
Tell yourself you're worth it all
Tell yourself you're beautiful and don't put up a wall
Tell yourself to get back up when you fall
Tell yourself even though you're hurt Im here in the long haul
All of the faith you put in people who done you wrong
All of the trust you gave away to those who made you feel you don't belong
All of those who knocked your voice down and drowned out your song
All they done in the end was make you strong
Tell yourself not to be your own worst critique
Tell yourself despite your flaws you're not a freak
Tell yourself your future's bright even if it seems bleak
Tell yourself I love you and you're unique
My own father made me feel dead inside
My own father killed my voice until it died
My own father broke my heart until I cried
My own father didn't ruin my life even though he tried
So I tell myself even though to him I was the worst daughter he's ever had
You're amazing even when you think you're bad
I tell myself it's ok to feel happy and sad
So I tell you it's possible to build a wonderful life and be glad
Tell yourself I'll be there to hold your hand
Tell yourself I'll fix it and take a stand
Tell yourself it's ok if everything doesn't always go as planned
Tell yourself in the mirror you're priceless unlike a million or a grand
