My Heart
Like a dense block of ice
Encapsulating my heart
My feelings are frozen
Until I escape this moment in the dark
When traumatic events occur
I feel my temperature drop
One degree, two degree
It's a autonomic response I can't stop
As I begin to clarify my internal words
The ice begins to thaw
The tears streaming from my eyes
I feel as if i'm being called
Called to love life - live life
Called to let go of all of the pain
Called to serve others
Let the ice melt, life will never be the same
My heart has been revived
It’s beat is strong
I now have an opportunity
To live this life - and be better for it all
