"Heart"

Heart

You see this muscle inside my chest?

It’s a tough sum’a bitch it is

You see, it broke today

Into a thousand tiny pieces

I can physically feel its shattered mess inside me

Blood seeping out 

Fibers exposed

The four chambers seeing the light of day for the first time

And mind you, those chambers aren’t supposed to see light

No they’re not

Now they’re seared and burnt and blistered

You know what? 

It hurts

It hurts real damn bad

Like someone came at me with a sledge hammer

And pounded that thing right where my heart is

Busted my heart

Now it lies in my chest in all these tiny pieces

And all I can do?

Feel the pain, learn from the pain, let the pain make me stronger

That’s all I can do

I heard though that hearts mend

Well, that’s what all the songs say anyway

It doesn’t feel that way though

But something inside me, in those tiny pieces of heart inside my chest

They seem to already be trying to find their way back to one another

You see, our hearts are tough sum’a bitches

 And they’re meant to break

And break

And break again

Because the way a muscle gets stronger is by breaking

When the breaks heal new fibers grow

And the stronger that tough sum’a bitch becomes

I’m gonna heal

I’m gonna be stronger

I’m gonna be better

And this heart ‘o mine is gonna keep on beatin’

And that’s something right there
