Young Heart

Inspired by Young Heart by We Are The Ocean, a poem I wrote as an apology to everyone around me for taking so long to get over the past.

Walk into a room

She's sits right there

Head hanging low, covered by her hair

Escaping from the wandering eyes

As they give their occasional stares

It's clear that she's been broken

She wears a crown 

Made of fragmented dreams,

The sheer desperation, how it screams

Try as she may, she can't quite fight off

The demons she has found inside herself

The demons she has caught.

Given glimpses of heaven,

She'll never quite forget 

The angels who had greeted her, 

Standing at the pearly gates.

She relives the memories...

Everything had made so much sense

Then as quick as a vision it had came and gone

Dragged away from her happiness and back down to Earth

She was caught in a trap she had set for herself

Believing in false promise

Her own naivety made her shatter like delf 

Yet somewhere lost, there's a glimmer of hope

It hides behind her eyes, 

It's entangled in a mess

She struggles to extract it 

But she needs it just to cope

Give her a season, just give her a spell

Please don't give up on her

She's trying not to dwell

Let her put her past up on a shelf

So she can write another chapter

Please just forgive her,

She's trying her very best

To be more than just a sad song playing

Over and over again on repeat

She's fragile and damaged, broken and stained

Give her time to heal and strengthen,

Let her play her part.

Afterall, she's still learning how to love

She's just a young heart

Expression like this incites compassion and makes me think of those who are young - finding their way and so easily dismissed. I pray I won't be one who dismisses, but listens and appreciates.

Over and over again on repeat"

Thank you very much! :)

This is very beautiful. It made me think of a friend of mine in high school who struggled for a very long time to get over something that happened in her past, and a lot of people kept shaming her for not just moving on. Great job writing this.
