Analysis of Find Selfworth
You are not your treasure. You are not your wealth.
You are not your measure. Find worth in your health.
You are not your fashion. You are not your style.
You are not your passion. Find worth in your smile.
You are not your touchT. You are not your lance.
You are not your clichT. Find worth in your stance.
You are not your empire. You are not your reign.
You are not your livewire. Find worth in your brain.
You are not your project. You are not your goal.
You are not your object. Find worth in your soul.
You are not your glory. You are not your fame.
You are not your story. Find worth in your name.
