The heart does not lie
Sometimes it whispers
Sometimes it roars
But it’s never a liar
The messages it
gives have to be
Translated by our brains
And then our mouths
And these things rely
On past emotion
Past experience
Past pain, oh god
So they take our hearts
And they put a gag on.
Or a lid. Or at least a
Little cloak to appear
Less vulnerable.
Less in love or more.
Less scared. But also
less of who we are.
That is not the hearts fault
The heart does not
Have a megaphone
The heart is not a liar.
Can you listen to yours?
What is it saying
That your anger or
Sadness is masking?
What is it saying
That would require you
To be vulnerable?
Can you be brave for it?
Brave enough to be
Vulnerable? Brave enough
To be real. Take a breath.
You are worth it, my love.
