The Pure Hearted
My heart is the purest part of me.
My arms have been stomped on
my legs torn up
my body violated
but my heart
has remained soft.
For I walk this journey.
This life
with the purest intentions,
yes a bit sensitive.
but aren't we all?
I'll always consider someone in a way
They'll never consider me.
I'll always reach out a hand
Without receiving one back.
I have not been rescued
The way I've rescued others.
i've put myself in your shoes...
and in yours, yours...
Yours too!
But have you ever thought of walking 10 steps in mine?
She is living in a calm pool of my tears
My heart is treading softly each day
She waits and waits and Waits..
She has not fallen apart
That pure heart of mine.
