I've heard all those words,
The empowering ones,

Loud notes sung by a nation.
High keys on the piano pulled again and again.

Every mouth around me is saying it.

'You're worth it'

But I need to hear them from you,
Hear them from your hesitant lips,

so I could finally believe them.

Will you say them?

Could you say them.

It's a matter of my Insanity,
Please.

Would you heal me?

No?

Can't or won't?

Oh,

You won't.

It's ok,

I'll continue surviving.
