Believe in Yourself (0:52)
by Manda
 

Worthless. . .
You're so worthless. . .
Your so god damned worthless. . .

Why can't you be
Pretty like your sister
Why can't you be
A scholar like your brother
Why can't you be
An athlete like your father
Why can't you be
Worthy like your grandmother
Why can't you be
Witty like your grand father
This is for those
Whose parents don't care
Who have no love in their life
This is for you
Never change for anybody
Because
You are beautiful
You are smart
You are worthy
You are loved
You are loved. . .
