My Heart Goes Out

I'M ONLY GOING TO BE POSTING ONCE A WEEK FROM NOW ON. Sorry, I've been getting busier and busier, so I don't have much time. Also, a bit of a lack of inspiration these days.

This was a poem I built upon the thought "My heat goes out to the people around me." It just struck me out of nowhere and I built a poem on that.

MY HEART GOES OUT:

My heart goes out
To those around me
The witnesses of horror
And the victims of misery.
My heart sends warmth
To thaw hearts of ice
And bring real smiles to faces
That need to see something nice.
My heart sends hope
To those hearts beating in hell
And awaken the sleeping ones
Like a loud bell.
My heart sends prayers
To those broken and in pain
To those who've given up on life
Those whose efforts were in vain.
My heart sends help,
Bandages and medicine
To mend those shattered hearts
And make them healthy again.
My heart sends prayers
To the ones I love
Make wishes for them
At 11:11 and upon the stars above.
My heart goes out
Even to those who don't want it
My heart goes out
Because I care and can't stop it.

So many people around us are hiding so much- pain, sadness, fear, anxiety, nervousness, anger, despair, ... All behind a façade of bravado, a forced smile, a fake laugh. And it's not always negative feelings too.

There are people walking around with heavy hearts. We don't know who's struggling and who's not. Maybe there are soldiers who have returned from war. Maybe there are witnesses of unimaginable sights. Maybe there are those who are feeling miserable all the time. There are hearts that are frozen in ice and have become cold and cruel. There are broken hearts, shattered ones that are so close to becoming glitter dust. There are hearts petrified with fear, hiding under the disguise of courage. There are hearts that are going through tough times and are literally fighting and beating in hell. There are hearts that are so sad they haven't smiled or laughed for real in days. There are hearts so close to giving up they are contemplating suicide.

We don't know exactly what everyone is going through, and we may never know. But I know there are people going through these things. I may not know who is going through what, but to all of them my heart goes out. My heart sends warmth, hope, prayers, medicine, bandage, wishes, care,... My heart goes out to you all. Whether you want it or not. Because I care.

So if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm all ears and ready to listen.
