Have you ever seen a bird with broken wings try to fly? How about a kid with broken arms trying to hold the world up or how about a medic patching up a fatal wound? Have you ever seen someone with a broken heart find love? Words like fatal and broken they are all ending words periods in a sentence. They are the left over memories that only few remember and the lessons that no one teaches.They lack hope and they lack common sense. The only goal is to try just as the bird does, and you may think it isn't bad right? The birds on the ground trying to fly well that's all perspective, what if I tell you the bird is high up in a tree? Not so good anymore.  The worlds pretty heavy do I need to even say how that story goes? What about the soldier with the fatal wound, would you believe me if I said he lived? Yea you might believe it… If I didn't mention the word fatal. But there's a twist in the kid with a broken heart. He did eventually find love.. But it never seemed to find him. You can often patch up or repair things that break and yes bones will heal with time. Those arms will grow stronger and the soldier will be honored for his sacrifice. But the kid with the broken heart, you can't just give time to something that needs cared for, you can't wait for it to get stronger and you certainly can't patch it up. So you give it to someone to care for it in hopes they'll give you there's to cherish and protect.. Except when they don't all your left with is this emptiness and struggles to find reality.
You do what you can to survive
