Believe

Words filled with hatred
Burns the heart the soul the mind
When the truth bursts out
Up the tearclogged airways
Out the bile spewing mouth
Let it out
Let the truth out

Clean your rotten airways
So you can breathe
Just breathe

In and out '
In and out
Like your faded father
Where'd he go?
Just breathe

Inhale exhale
Inhale exhale
Feel the truth
Scraping the lies off your unclean surface
Wiping clean all of the broken hearts
And shattered dreams

Let the truth out
Let it be known
THAT THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH

Take your false claims of unmade beds
Made dirty with her lovers filth
Lies so venomous
Making her believe

She's not beautiful
She's not kind
She's not important

Your jabs taunts insults
Will not render her unworthy
Will not crumble shatter nor tear her down
Belittled to the scum on your shoes
For I know

Of her beauty
Of her kindness
Of her importance

I know we are one and the same
No single-minded lifeless monster
Can dictate my well-being
It dangles my future
My success

No one can obliterate
My will to strive for the best
I won't hear your putdowns

I am beautiful
I am kind
I am important.
I know I am these things because
I believe it.

And no one
Will ever
Take this
Away from me.
