-Heart

In biology we learned about hearts and our teacher told us that the heart stings (tendons) can sometimes break after a deep emotional trauma causing the heart to lose form and as a result be unable to pump blood effectively, you can literally die from a broken heart.
I learned that, then I got this letter from my heart. And it went like this..


Hey Alice, listen here. Let me tell you something you've been needing to hear for a while. 
I am not broken. 
Our past experiences have not rendered me incapable, 
they have not snapped my strings, 
they have only made them stronger.
I am pounding harder than ever,
my beat growing stronger,                                 

can you feel it?

My song grows louder and more complex as the days pass on.
I yearn for the melody and accompaniment of a second song,
I try to sing to the neighbor down the street from me but Mr Brain doesn't like to mess around much.
But I grow stronger even still and one day he won't be able to ignore me.


P.S. Don't be concerned about your crooked ribs, 
       that happened before I accepted that I'm caged for a reason.

P.P.S. Don't let anyone cage you,
          run free darling.
