Shot Through the Heart

As I hear the familiar first line of an 80’s song I realize that is how I am feeling Pierced, gravely injured not in body, but in spirit I can’t make myself attend an exercise class when I need it so very badly but my spirit is injured and I just don’t have it in me right now to meet new people, and extend an effort to engage, putting on a smile that I don’t feel I refuse to wallow, so I will go on a walk or do an exercise video and push and stretch my body I will put my pen to paper and stretch my mind and restore my soul with prayer I can take steps to heal my heart but since someone else put the hole there, I think they are going to need to help repair it
