Tammy Ol Poet Rhyme

We All Bleed Red

We all hurt 
And we all heal
Some parts we share and some parts we conceal

Some we get over
Some are more than we can bear
Some leave us with the heaviest hearts in despair

Cracks and crevices precede our brokenness
Parting the pieces just enough
Slivers of light emit and illuminate, like shiny diamonds in the rough

When the light inside glows brighter
In time, our hurts and heartaches mend
Gaining insight from experience, finding new ways to love again

It's true, we all bleed red
But our healing palettes are one-of-a-kind 
Prepared to paint in living colour, the canvas of body, heart and mind
