Beat Me

Beat me,
Beat me,
Beat me again.

One of these days
I’ll probably give in

But for now, it’s decided
My happiness doesn’t depend on you
I know my own worth
Despite the punishments you brew

I’ve accomplished a lot
I can hold my head high
I was successful in things
I normally wouldn’t try

Blind yourself to my progress
Blind yourself to my worth
But I know my accomplishments
Improve this earth

So, beat me
Discard me
Act like I’m not even here

I know I make a difference
I know how much I care
I decide what gets to me
I know the weight I can bear
