It reassures readers that they are inherently special and do not need to prove their worth through constant achievement or by always being the light for others. The poem emphasizes that it's okay to not always be strong or caring, as life is not a game to be won, and there is no shame in acknowledging one's limitations.

Opinions
You don’t have to drink all the time.
As you are a light in the world and they are so blind.
You are special right here on the earth, and you don’t have to sum up your worth I love you the same.
As before when you lived in a smile, When hope was so real It was kind
And there was no game.
You don’t have to care all the time, We do not sign up for this life
And there is no shame.
