Despite the sorrow and pangs of distress I know my worth 
For in my heart I know that I Matter. 
Whatever it is even the lowest positions 
I know deep down in my heart I Matter. 
 
No one is free from trials and tribulations 
But even with them I still know that I Matter. 
I may not be the greatest of all time 
But still I know that truly I Matter. 
 
No one in the world should wonder there place in life 
Because no matter what You Matter. 
The toughest pressure makes a diamond 
So you should know no matter what You Matter. 
 
No one can love you more than you love yourself 
So we all most know that I Matter. 
We may not have the prettiest smile or best hair 
But despite statistics I know that I Matter. 
 
What others think of you may be powerful 
But it isn’t as mighty as knowing that You Matter. 
Because without a doubt everyday I wake up 
I say to myself, “Self, You really do Matter.
