Tin Heart

Tinman

When I was whole,
Like the audience who laughs at me,
I was perfect.

The heart I had wasn’t faulty,
Merely happy in a world of hope.
That I would lose.

My place in life,
Was never to be complete.
Just knowing I was lacking.

The body I would live with,
Held by only a futile, desperate desire
To be the thing I could never be again


~A personal quote~

To dream in the brilliance of life.
Is to realize that each breath may never come.
