You’re worth it, so worth it,
Despite the cracks that show.
Your rough-around-the-edges beauty,
Like a masterpiece in show.
We all have our own struggles,
Our own weights to bear.
Towers of self-doubt,
Built with lies that don’t compare.

We’re in situations we didn’t choose,
Watching others move on,
Of course it’s greener in another’s field.
Longing for a change,
To break from the heartaches,
Hard to find solace,
When negativity won’t break.

Don’t listen to the negatives;
It’s just a number game.
Negative thoughts give no results,
But positivity brings the fame.
Your worth isn’t defined by the cracks,
But by the beauty that shines through.
The battle is fought in the mind,
Against no one else but you.

You’re worth it,
If no one else sees;
I see it clear.
You’re a work of art,
And your value rare.

The greatest message you will preach,
Is the message of your life.
