The Heart of Me

Posted by Terrence Johnson

Exposed and unfiltered
Vulnerable and completely real
This is the heart of me
Past the everyday facade
Behind the cloak of correctness
I am what I am
A work in progress
No closer to perfection
No farther from pitfall
One day away from collapse
An eminent need to release
I let my emotions spill onto the page
Soaking the words with true feeling
The anguish of life
The frustration of progress
The joy and pain of love
Is painted across each letter
Not meant to be a uniform creation
More like random selection
A beautifully fractured picture
Meant to be examined closely
Finding new secrets
The closer the eye sees
No one can receive the heart of me
Its size too grand
Its depth too deep
Its flow too forceful
I can only share my heart
Because giving my heart
Is too much for one person to bear
