my biggest problem
is my heart —
when it speaks its truth,
expressing itself in my way of being
on my sleeve,
not hiding at all
despite its injuries,
it has not learned to lie,
to cheat,
to manipulate
it has never been its nature
you are welcome to run
when it overwhelms,
revealing and leaking its wounding —
unexpected, undesired
but when it resonates with your soul,
you don’t have to earn
its affection.
it is freely given,
filling my heart with joy
when it is received
and appreciated —
a gift,
asking for nothing in return
