The Reclaimed Heart: Soft
This week's installment of The Reclaimed Heart series is a poem I wrote maybe a year or so ago.
There is so much in this life that can make you harden yourself, from difficulties and disappointments to broken hearts and loss. We all have our reasons to become hardened, whether from bitterness or protection.
But in that hardening, we can become cut off from the beautiful things, other people, and even ourselves. A braver way to live is to courageously face those things, endure the pain of them, learn the lesson from them, but refuse to let them harden you.
This is a dedication to remaining soft.
