You’re not worthless, they said.
It’s just that your worth is a little bit different.
It’s not better or worse.
It’s just different.
I mean, who’s to say that one number is any more valuable than another?
Different numbers can have the same value, right?
Sure, your number is lower,
But that doesn’t change your value.
Your value is the same as anyone else’s—
Except that it’s a little different.
It’s not better or worse.
It’s just different.
You can do anything you want to do,
And be anything you want to be.
So long as you choose from this pre-approved list.
What you’ve chosen is probably good,
It’s just that what we’ve chosen for you
Is a little bit different.
It’s not better or worse.
It’s just different.
And we’re glad that you’ve accepted the name God has given you.
The name He has given you is all that matters.
It’s just that we *kind of* already had a name picked out for you.
And I’m sure the name God picked is fine,
But we kind of already made your name tag.
And it’s different.
It’s not better or worse.
It’s just different.
