Still Beating

Ode to the heart

You may have been wounded, but your heart still beats.

Be immune to defeat, it’s time to rise to your feet.

I hate you had to endure such a messy life.

Your heart is still beating. Keep fighting with every breath of life.

Temporarily are you down because of the wound.

No matter, no worries. You’ll be on your feet soon.

You’ll rise up like a Phoenix coming out the mud.

No longer covered in the stains of flowing blood.

If you’re feeling pain that means you’re not dead.

Every other distraction is all in your head.

So much victory in your future you’re achieving.

Never stop believing as long as your heart is still beating.
