Beating bravely

The strongest heart is not the one that resembles a fortress

All covered in armor and hidden within mighty walls.

Armed men circling the structure 24/7 to ensure that no stray creature will lay siege to the treasure they protect.

No, the strongest heart is the one that presents herself in pure form.

She stands out in the open. Raw. Beating bravely. Exposed.

Daring to be vulnerable.

Her voice proclaims, “Love me...or don’t. Regardless, I will love you.”

She does not fear rejection.

She has been broken time and again, and yet longs for the opportunity to love more.

Out of her aching, she only breathes more love and passion into those around her.

Nothing can stop this heart.

It will continue to radiate light forever.

How much does it love?

Whom does it love?

Where are the boundaries?

There is no limit.

It loves as it beats.
