Battle of Hearts
Preview into New Poetry book.
What is the difference between “want” and “need”?
Being able to feel when we cry or bleed?
Do we choose to take for granted having a house to
call home? Or, is it a necessity to reside within our
very own soul, reaching out to touch the unseen.
The atmosphere is heavy at times, without
constricting the air that we need.
While forces are fighting against us, we push
through our twisted storms, placing bricks
in their paths, protecting our hearts from
feeling scorned.
Do we love ourselves completely?
Covering battle wounds we dare.
Concealing the scars effortlessly
placed to show vulnerable and bare.
It is the battle within ourselves that we need
to succeed. And, the fear of what we may become
resolves as we fight for whom we need to be.
