The Broken-Hearted

The Broken-Hearted

Let not the world’s expectations
make you cringe in fear.
You are not to be perfect,
it is far too much to bear.
Do not weep upon your broken dreams.
If you do not spread your wings,
you can never learn to fly.
The world will sob for the broken-hearted,
for those whose wings crumpled,
who fell to the tear-stained ground below.
Are you so afraid to be broken-hearted,
like everyone else in this world?
You are not different from the rest,
even though you strive to be.
We all end up with broken hearts,
broken dreams, and broken wings.
So spread your wings and don’t hold back,
go on, just take the leap.
Learn whether you are one of the broken-hearted,
or one of the free.
