Lead With Heart - Spoken Word

Some people are in so much pain,

They opt out,

They choose not to feel,

Because in choosing to feel,

You then sign up to heal,

And God forbid we unzip our insides,

Intentionally throwing our heart on our sleeve,

As if we're ever really ready to leave,

The comfort and the confines,

The safety within our ribcage,

Oh pardon me,

Have I triggered your rage?

Let's try this again,

This time from deep down,

Here,

Take my hand,

And gently rise from the ground,

The ashes of your past need not be your bed,

And the leading of life is not to come from your head,

But rather the heart's,

And trusting that beat.
