bits & pieces.

Heartbreak.

you call yourself
heartbroken,
but you should know
that you're only scattered.

thousands of people
get their souls torn
everyday.
they have walked
through the alleys
of hurt.

they know what true pain
is supposed to feel like.

they wouldn't wish it
on their worst enemies.

yet we fake our hurt,
we pretend to be broken
when we're intact.

why?

is it the aesthetic?
of being destroyed?
do you think
that destructed hearts
are beautiful?

well, they are;
beautiful beyond words.

but the beauty of pain
cannot be worn by anyone.

it takes special courage
to knowingly let yourself stand
in the way of the rushing boulder
that is hurt.

it takes patience
and wisdom
to know that it will pass;
but when?
that is unknown.

so my advice
to you, dear reader,
is that
do not wish pain
upon yourself.

revel in your fullness.

do not ask
the universe
to take from you
what you're not ready to give.
