Broken Ribs
Bruised ribs sting less than a wounded heart,
When they decide to distance, let them depart.
Give your all, exhaust every endeavor,
When you've done your best, let the dawn sever.
In the midst of chaos, face it with grace,
Gather the fragments, learn, and embrace.
Repeat the cycle, from each episode gain,
In life's twists and turns, restart the refrain.
When they decide to distance, let them depart.
Give your all, exhaust every endeavor,
When you've done your best, let the dawn sever.
In the midst of chaos, face it with grace,
Gather the fragments, learn, and embrace.
Repeat the cycle, from each episode gain,
In life's twists and turns, restart the refrain.

Author's Note
In "Broken Ribs," I navigate the intricate interplay of physical and emotional pain, drawing parallels between the tangible ache of broken ribs and the intangible sorrow of a wounded heart. This brief journey unfolds a narrative of acceptance, resilience, and the ceaseless loop of lessons learned from life's adversities. The metaphorical exploration encourages readers to contemplate the harmonies between struggle and personal evolution, highlighting the healing process as one of strength, endurance, and perpetual renewal. May these verses echo the shared rhythms of the human experience.

I absolutely loved your words.
" When you've done your best, let the dawn sever" - brilliant. Kind of where I'm at in life.
