So now tell me how your story goes. | |
Have you ever suffered? | |
If so, Did you get better or have you never quite recovered from it? | |
Did You find your lover laying in your bedroom with another and then | |
Did You let it hover over you and everything else well after the fact? | |
Show me all your bruises. | |
I know everybody wears them. | |
They Broadcast the pain–how you hurt, how you reacted. | |
Did cancer take | |
Your child? | |
Did your father have a heart attack? | |
Have you had a | |
Moment forced the whole heart to grow or retract? | |
Or just Shrink. | |
Does the heart shrink? | |
Tell me everything. | |
Tell me everything you know. | |
Were you told as a child how cruel the whole world can be? | |
Did Anybody ever tell you that? | |
Tell me what your purpose is? | |
Who it was | |
That put you here and why? | |
Did anybody really put you here at all? | |
And what of those necessities? | |
Like how to cope with tragedy and | |
Pain? Did anybody ever show you how? | |
When it hits will my | |
Heart burst or break or grow strong? | |
Is there really only one way to | |
Know now? | |
I'm not sure if | |
I'm ready yet to find out the hard | |
Way How strong | |
I am. What | |
I'm made of. | |
I'm not sure if | |
I'm Ready yet to walk through the fire. | |
I'm not sure | |
I can handle it. | |
Do you think if the heart keeps on shrinking | |
One day there | |
Will be no heart at all? | |
And how long does it take? | |
Am I Better off just bursting or breaking? | |
Because I don't see my heart | |
Getting strong. | |
Tell your stories to me. | |
Show your bruises. | |
Let's see what humanity | |
Is capable of handling. | |
She lost her kid, only seven, to cancer. | |
She answered with faith in her god | |
And carried on, | |
While he was attacked by his son and was stabbed in | |
His stomach and his back and his arms. | |
He showed me scars. 82 | |
Years old, told me, "I still have my daughter and my wife. And I still Have My life and my son." | |
Tell me what your worst fears are. | |
I bet they look a lot like mine. | |
Tell me what you think about when you can't fall asleep at night. | |
Tell me that you're struggling. | |
Tell me that you're scared. | |
No, Tell me that you're terrified of life. | |
Tell me that it's | |
Difficult to not think of death sometimes. | |
Tell me how you lost. | |
Tell me how he left. | |
Tell me how she left. | |
Tell me how you lost | |
Everything that you had. | |
Tell me that it isn't ever coming back. | |
Tell me about | |
God. Tell me about love. | |
Tell me that it's all | |
Of the above. | |
Say you think of everything in fear. | |
I bet You're not the only one does. | |
Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering. | |
I wonder When | |
I will. I wonder. | |
Everyone is out searching for someone or | |
Something. | |
I wonder what | |
I'll find. | |
I wonder. |
