Dear Heart,

Oh Heart,
Be still
and listen

I long to teach you many things

This is how you learn to fly
This is how you beat all on your own
This is how you break the barriers

But you are like a child
looking for a lost balloon
So far gone
you can't remember its color

One day the balloon will come
back down to earth
I pray you'll be there, sweet heart
I pray you'll remember

Please keep beating, little one
I still need you to live

{Prompt: portray your feelings}
