Unbreakable Heart
A heart, they say, can break.
Shatter into a thousand jagged pieces.
But what if it doesn't?
What if it bends,
bruised and aching,
yet stubbornly refuses to yield?
Scars map its terrain,
each a testament
to storms weathered,
loves lost,
betrayals endured.
It learns to beat
with a different rhythm,
a deeper resonance,
carrying the weight
of what was,
and the hope of what might be.
It becomes a fortress,
not impenetrable,
but resilient,
knowing the cracks
let in the light,
and the strength comes
from having almost broken,
but choosing not to.
An unbreakable heart
is not untouched,
but undefeated.
A quiet testament
to the enduring power
of the human spirit.
