Tell Me A Story

Tell me a story ...
Of how people stay,
Not how they leave.

Tell me a story ...
Of a beautiful world,
Not the ugly one I see.

Tell me a story ..
Of hope,
Not despair.

Tell me a story ...
Of justice and kindness.

Tell me a story ...
Of how everything
works out in the end.

Tell me a story ...
With a happy ending .
Tell me everything will be okay.

Tell me a story ...
Of how much I'm loved.
Tell me that I matter.
