The Moon Said

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

I was curled up in the quiet

Counting flaws like stars at night

Wishing I could disappear

Or rewrite my crooked light

Then the moon broke through the silence

Silver truth across my skin

She whispered through the shadows

Where my healing could begin

Chorus

And the moon said to me,

“Dear girl, you’re fucking worth it”

Not in spite of all your scars

But because you dared to earn them

You don’t need to shrink or shine

Just breathe and let the world turn

You’re the storm, the flame, the hymn

And you’re fucking worth it

Verse 2

I wore shame like second skin

Tried to fit where I’d never been

But the moon, she saw me whole

Not the mask, but the soul

She didn’t ask for pretty

She didn’t ask for grace

She just held me in her stillness

And kissed my broken face

Bridge

So I rise like ocean tides

No apology, no disguise

I’m the echo of her truth

And I’ve got nothing left to prove

Final Chorus

And the moon said to me,

“Dear girl, you’re fucking worth it”

Not a question, not a plea

Just a vow the stars rehearsed with

So I’ll dance beneath her light

Let the wild in me resurface

I’m the storm, the flame, the hymn

And I’m fucking worth it

Would you like help setting this to a particular genre—alt-pop, indie folk, or cinematic ballad? I can also help shape the melody or chord structure.
