Steemit Open Mic Week 93: it’s hard but it’s worth it (original song)

This song is honest and raw, and brand new.

There’s some hope in it, but a whole lot of hurt, too. Actually, it helps to heal the hurt. Singing… having the music vibrate in my bones… music is so healing.

But I’ll be honest: I was on the floor earlier, back against the wall, playing guitar with tears streaming down my face. Call it depression, hormones, the hazards of motherhood, or just the cost of being human… sometimes it hits hard.



Lyrics – It’s Hard But It’s Worth It


It’s one of those days where I feel like
Burning every bridge

In one of those years when I’m not sure
If I’m gonna live
Through this insanity
To a place where I feel okay

So I just keep on taking it
Day by day

And it’s not like joy has left
Me behind
Sometimes I feel so free
Feel so alive

But some days it’s like
Part of me has died
And I’m just tryin’
To survive

Oooooooh Oh

It’s one of those days where I feel like
Burning every bridge

In one of those years where I
Just wanna quit
But I can’t, I won’t
Gotta keep with it

Ooooh it’s hard but it’s worth it

And it’s not like joy has left
Me behind
Sometimes I feel so free
Feel so alive

But some days all I
Can do is cry
And I’m just tryin’
To survive
