worth it

you’re worth it, I tell you
you’re worth walking that path you are so uncertain of
the path towards what you love and fear most
walk it trembling if you must,
but keep placing one foot in front of the other
you’re worth it, I tell you
you’re worth healing
not because you need to be fixed
but so that you can know what it is
to feel free inside once the weight of your pain is gone
you’re worth it, I tell you
you’re worth the kind of love
that forces you to be courageous in your own life
the kind of love that is relentless in its demand
for your most honest and wonderfully weird self
you’re worth it, I tell you
you’re worth following that beating compass in your chest
as it guides you on that path with your name on it
you are the knight on the horse
and the hero in the cape you’ve been waiting for
