Tell Me

Tell me if the beauty is branded on the skin
or woven into the thoughts within


Tell me where the father stays
while the mother sits and waits



Tell me when I became useless and
my values turned to mush


Tell me if I'm good enough for the suicidal stance
or waiting in the hospital for salvation meds




Tell me if god would approve or strike me
where I stand



Tell me where the worth is and if I can try again



Tell me if I truly love myself
