This world has so much sorrow,
So much stress and so much pain.
It's easy to wonder what we live for.
To wonder why we were made.

You think that you're not good enough,
Like you don't deserve to live.
You think that no one ever loved you,
And that you have nothing to give.

You wander through life confused,
Without somewhere to turn,
You think that leaving is the answer,
The only way out.

You don't see the ones who love you,
The way that they would feel.
To lose a daughter, friend or sister.
A tragedy that can never be repaired.

You can never be replaced in the hearts of the ones who love.
You are you!! Precious, Held and Loved.
You make the world to someone you are Wonderful and Complete.
You can make it in this life just take a look at your feet.

Watch where they take you,
The roads not yet turned,
The discoveries you will make,
and the things that you will learn.

Think about the experiences that lie ahead.
The fun times and beautiful days spent with friends.
Think about your life when you're in college or a mom.
Don't throw so much away even though it seems like the end.

Being happy is not impossible.
To love yourself is true,
To keep on going after feeling this way,
Greatly rewards you.

I know from experience that it's not the end.
That everything works out for the best.
That people love you even when you feel the lowest.
That you will be okay.
