They're just like any other heart, nothing
Remarkable about them.
On closer look you can see invisible scars
And bruises caused by life and all it's mayhem.
From times when they were betrayed
By friend or family--
Or had their self-esteem ground to dirt
Because they were told they were nobody.
Broken by loss of love and
Understanding. You won't see it
On their face--they've practiced
Hiding any little hint.
They stay quiet and some people
Think they're weak, while
They're trying to survive. Each small victory
They make, is stored in their mental file.
Don't ever prejudge someone
By how they seem to be.
You can't know another's pain--
Be kind and tread softly.
