I was always told
I have wisdom
That surpasses my years

But then I thought
Is it worth it?
Because wisdom is gained
By life experience
And pain

Is my knowledge
Worth the hurt?
Is it worth
The things I've come out of?

Do I regret
The things I've said?
The things I've done?
The answer is yes

But it's the mistakes
That make me
If it weren't for
My mistakes
I wouldn't be who I am
Today

So yes
It's worth it
Yes
It's worth all of the tears
The ones I've lost
The struggles through the years

In my heart
I believe
Everything happens
for a reason

And that reason is me
