Your bruised aching heart
Will try to make you harsher
Your bruised ego will try
To fill you with anger and hate
Your broken pride will try
To make you stop feeling
Opt instead for healing
Embrace kindness offered
When your hurt heart is open
You will find its broken pieces
Make their way back together
Evolving into a stronger heart
With no armor or anger
Your brave heart will try again
