Worth More from Shifting Winds by Stefanie Potter

I'm on hands and knees
digging way too deep
waiting for this pit to cave in on me
But they ignore my striving
and they don't hear me crying
they just say dig deeper all through the night

so I asked him, why do I even try?
Is it worth the fight?
and he told me

You are worth more than they say
You are worth more than they'd pay
Don't you know I'd die for you
Just so you could see your value

All that I go through
I see more dirt than fruit
It can be so hard to remember the truth
That all the seed I scatter
someday it will matter
for a happily ever after

I still ask him, why do I even try?
Is it worth the fight?
He tells me

You are worth more than they say
You are worth more than they'd pay
Don't you know I'd die for you
Just so you could see your value

Someday you’ll see your reward
From all the work you did before
Someday a garden will grow
Someday you will reap what you’ve sown
And you’ll know

You are worth more than they say
You are worth more than they'd pay
Don't you know I'd die for you
Just so you could see

That you are worth more than they say
You are worth more than they'd pay
Don't you know I'd die for you
Just so you could see your value
