They laugh...cruel and unforgiving whispers of doubt and insecurity invade.

Never understanding and judgemental as if the ruler of this world pulled the strings of demons through hell’s dark abyss.

Shattered and held down into the past. A once beating heart now lies beaten and broken in the shadows.

Forgetful of how to beat how to love...how to live.

Each blow leaving a bitter wound forever unhealed.

Darkness creeps through and is taken in by a heart that was once full of life, love, and joy.

Swept away into the eternal abyss with a belief that there is no hope.

Listen...listen to your heart, calling…pleading.

Memories and love forever lost in the agony and despair.

Listen...a sound calling, pleading.

Hope.

Listen to your heart, a rhythm...a love so pure and graceful.

The shadows tighten.

Listen...listen to the light you once had.

A light...glowing, pulsing, radiating, calling.

Calling...calling for you to return.

The rhythm becomes stronger, life, feeling, purpose.

Darkness invades but is repelled.

A glimmer of hope.

The shackles of grief.

Sadness, despair, pain.

Wither away.

Listen to your heart.

The joy that once was.

Listen...a spark of life shatters the darkness.

Your heart beats once again.

You have a purpose in this cruel unforgiving world.

No one can take away who you are.

Don’t let them try to change who you are.

Listen...listen to your heart.

And what you really want.
