Who is worth it?
he thinks he’s worth it/because he worked so hard. And he thinks he’s worth it/because he sacrificed. And they think they’re worth it because of their pain and suffering and trauma. And she thinks she’s worth it because she hasn’t gotten a thing, so she’s been waiting/waiting/waiting for something good. she’s been raising the kids and keeping quiet. so she is worth it.

so what do they do? They fight. Not over/facts/but over a viewpoint. Does the harder worker/get the most? Does the one who suffered the most/ get the most? The most needy? The one who gave up//opportunities and money and fame? Who is worth it?

They will never/agree. They will never see eye to/eye. There’s a little whisper in the wind — this is not a thing/ordained by gods. It is very much a thing/invented by you and you and you and you. So who is worth it/is just/whoever wins. unsatisfying/an essay question/no right answers.
