The Heart's Song

a world

of

quiet

its

expectations

push you

down

your voice

is

somewhat

silenced

compared

ridiculed

discarded

you hold

your head

up, but

you begin

to drown

you are

less

less

defined

less

sure

less

you

for no one

is perfect 

when no one

knows

love

an echo                                                    

it resonates within the empty cave    

of your heart

you hear your name softly resound

whispered through tender lips           

barely apart                                         

but it continues to build                       

it thunders, it reaches a crescendo

from their conviction                         

you find your own voice                  

unique, unparalleled

as you love,                                          

you are loved                              

together you make a song and the

love makes you

a beat                                                                                                

it enters- the beginning of a symphony                                  

thump-thump, thump-thump

you are alive, you are strong, you are passionate, you are you                

you become one of many                                                           

and one of few                                                                       

thump-thump, thump-thump                                                   

you have found love, and now love has found you               

love makes you                                                                          

flaw-less. flaw-less. flaw-less. flaw-less. flawless. Flawless.
