Broken Heart

What do you do when you have a broken heart? I have a broken heart. I had a broken heart some years ago and through it I lost my artistic ability. It disappeared from me for at least 4 or 5 years. I was empty. It was a painful time. I guess in retrospect there were hurts that needed to be dealt with when they happened. But because of my young age I was unable to do that. They finally slapped me in the face and took me to my knees. I corrected some wrongs and moved my life forward but it hurt others. I am sorry for that but I have forgiven myself for that. Now I have a broken heart again that relates to all that happened. The difference this time is that I have forgiven those who break my heart again. I will not let my creativity disappear this time. I move forward by using my hands, my thoughts, and my heart. I will live through this pain and my heart will be whole again.  I will forgive myself and those who hurt me daily if I must.

I have this little thread. I will call it “Hope”. It is the only thing that keeps my heart from falling apart.
