Soft Hearts
You cry at dogs reuniting with their soldier owners
You celebrate the hardest for others’ birthdays
You give your everything to your friends and family
You feel with every ounce of your heart
Others call you sensitive or weak
But my friend, you are not
The softest hearts are the strongest
They move the world forward
The soft hearts are why I believe in this world
The ones who care so much they have to help
The ones who get joy just from being there for others
The ones who fight for justice, feel overwhelmed, and get back up to do it again
It is easier to not care
To wall yourself up so high you never feel, admit mistakes or open up
You get hurt less, it’s true
But you miss out on so much
You miss out on the purest friendships
You miss out on having passions you want to pursue with all your being
You miss out on hopes fulfilled
You miss out on so much loving
So soft hearts, take care of yourself and really get to know yourself
Once you do, you can take care of others
It’s not the easy path but I promise the world’s better with you like this in it
I would know, I changed to have a soft heart too
