My Junior year in High School, 2005 or 2006, Mari Earl (Kurt Cobain's Auntie) came to visit and talk to us younglings about how "it's worth it" and sang a song that she wrote back in 1995. I wanted to share it here. I forgot I had it.

"Think of a butterfly inside a cocoon
Wrapped in the darkness of her closed-in room
Trusting in something greater than she
Never a thought of not being free

What seems like a lifetime are moments gone by
Seeing the light now she can almost fly
Though it's a struggle she knows it wont last
Her new wings will carry her far from her past

It's worth every moment it takes
It's worth it no matter how long she might wait
It's worth everything she's been through in her life
'Cause she knows it's the struggle that gives her the strength to fly.

Sometimes I feel the walls closin' in
The hands of depression chokin' me again
Alone and confused I'm frozen in fear
Sometimes I wonder, does anybody know I'm here?

Just like the butterfly in her cocoon
Wrapped in my darkness of my closed-in room
I need to trust something greater than me
To give me the hope and strength to be free

It's worth every moment it takes
It's worth it no matter how long I might wait
It's worth everything I've been through in life
'Cause I know it's the struggle that gives me the strength to fly

So if you get caught inside a cocoon
Remember the butterfly and you'll be flyin' soon!

It's worth every moment it takes
It's worth it no matter how long you might wait
It's worth everything you've been through in life
'Cause you know it's the struggle that gives you the strength to fly.
You know it's the struggle that gives you the strength to fly."
