Fill in the holes.

Rid them of these lies
embedded in their heart
and in the place they used to be
your love will make its mark.

Were you told you'd never succeed
Believing that no worth could be found
within who you were

Were you told that you were alone
No one could ever understand
the pain and grief deep inside

Were you told no one could like you
unless you covered up who you really were
and did what others said

Were you told that were ugly
and needed to lose weight
in order to be truly accepted

Were you told that what you'd done
could never be forgiven
you would live in shame and guilt forever

Were you told that drinking soothes the pain
it'd help you to forget
the memories that haunt your thoughts

Were you told that the familys brokeness
was because of you
it could never be repaired

Were you told that causing yourself pain
was better than being numb
cause at least you felt something right?

What lies have you been told?
