Hearts Arent Meant To Be Broken

Hearts aren’t meant to be broken

They’re made to be loved and treasured

Yet others seem to find joy in wrecking

The simple yet complex organ that is

The human heart.

I think it’s kinda funny that you like me

‘Cause I don’t really like myself.

Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy that you want me

‘Cause I don’t really want myself. 

~

I’m just a girl

Not pearl

Not too shiny

Or a beauty

But you say that 

I am anyway. 

~ 

I think you're kinda crazy 

But maybe that’s me

‘Cause I don’t really 

See what you see….

~ 

Not sure if I like this

Or it’s just low-self esteem

Tripping me up when it sees that I’m weak. 

~ 

Yeah, I wanna believe

Just wanna believe what you say is true….

But there’s a part of me

That you don’t even see

And it’s the part of me that I hate

Clouding my mind with its daze

How can you love this mess in the mirror?

~

I think it’s kinda funny that you like me

‘Cause I don’t really like myself

Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy that you want me

‘Cause I don’t really want myself.

I’m just a girl

In a material world

Trying to find where

I fit in the mold.

That could hold me?

Or is there nowhere that I can go?

I don’t really know

Why you think that I’m gold

When I’m a rock and don’t let you close.

Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy

That you love me even when I don’t. 

~ 

What do you see?

Oh, tell me what you see….

Faded tear tracks on cheeks

Or the blood on my teeth from... 

Oh, wait, that’s lipstick you see

Trying to hide the real me

Beneath the paint of the world

And I’m like, “Oh my gosh, is that me?”

Yeah, it’s funny what you see when you hide. 

~ 

What do you see?

Do you really see me? 

Or a puppet on a string

Suspended from the sky. 

~ 

I don’t really know

Yeah, I don’t really know

How to feel but I know one thing is true.

새해 복 많이 받으세요!

Happy new year everyone!

This year is going to be absolutely amazing. I hope we all achieve all of our goals and dreams. Everything is going to be awesome. I wish you all bravery, courage and wisdom so you can follow your dreams and do things that you love and feel passionate about.

Let’s all work hard towards our goals!!

away

Beneath a taut canopy

seeing the strain on the anchor chains

while storm clouds dance overhead

gathering the stars in a dark embrace,

Hold tight to my hand dear

we're waiting only for the tide

to leave this harbor one last time

with our eyes only upon the waves

for the city lights have nothing to offer

and those streets are nothing but a maze

designed to distract you from your dreams,

We were made for far better things than this

to live lives not bound by angles and lines

contrived to contradict any true passion

we are leaving a world made of rooms

to a place with the sky for a ceiling

let them loose the hounds after us

the ocean is trackless

and we will not return

Healing takes many stages, and each person's journey is different and definitely not linear, but as long as you keep taking steps forward to heal--that is giving it your best and that is really all you can ask for. 💙

 The thing is, you have to want to be well and be free in order to do so. This goes for more than just physical health, it goes for mental and spiritual health as well. 

Some days it may be painful, you may feel the fresh bite of pain, anger, and hurt steal the breath right out of your lungs, but keep going. Other days, you may feel tears of JOY frost your lashes, keep going! 

You are healing, and boy does it feel good. Take your time, breathe, ground yourself in Him. 

Heal at your own pace but don't lose your momentum, no matter what--keep going. ✨
