The reflection of what was meant to break you

The life this heart has lived
It seems, distant
Far away memories
Long somewhat forgotten tears
Indifference
Self imposed apathy
But every now & again
my eyes twinkle
With a wisdom that can only
come from
The life this heart has lived
And, in the end
I suppose
I am thankful
I am me
I couldn't articulate
the depth of this
even if I tired
But there's something
in a persons eyes
When they are survivors
Fighters
When you become a warrior
you understand
that unexplainable
light that radiates
From the soul
The wisdom of a heart tried & true
Tested and found worthy of the call
Yes I am thankful
Thankful for it all
