The best piece of advice I've ever been given, received in a moment when I didn't know how to go on simply because of how broken hearted I was: The way forward is with a broken heart.
Since that day, I have noticed how many "broken-hearted but still moving" people I know. Living is hard and very few of us are not carrying wounds of some kind. But here we all are...just out here, walking around with broken hearts...but busy hands, and feet that keep moving forward.
Thank you for reading my poem.
What strikes me the most from your poem is its kindness, with you offering it on this day when some people may really NEED to hear it the most.
It is unlikely that you would have that level of kindness if you hadn't had your heart broken. But also, you chose to learn from it, and carry that with you rather than simply shut it down.
So beneath that, it seems to me, is bravery also.:-)
