We all have shitty parts.
We all have stains.
We are all caked in the dirt of the world
that we picked up along the way.
People come, people leave.
Only a few will leave footprints on your heart,
those are the ones you should never let go.
We come into life wanting nothing more
than unconditional
love, then someone tells us we are not worthy
and we spend the rest of our lives in pain.
Everyone needs to feel love in whatever form that
takes.
A hand extended not for gain
only you can decide whether to push it away.
That hand may, too, be stained.
In empathy, two hearts then join together
to heal each other or drown alone in the waves.
