Unspoken Melodies: Poems That Sing

Fixed Vision

A lot of things broke my heart but fixed my vision,
The pain and sadness that crept in without permission,
The tears I cried that seemed to never dry,
The weight on my shoulders that made me wonder why.

First, it was the loss of a loved one,
A person so dear, now forever gone,
The void they left behind, impossible to fill,
The grief I felt, so surreal.

But in their absence, a lesson was learned,
That life is fleeting, like a wave that's churned,
And that we must cherish each moment we're given,
And value the relationships that make life worth livin'.

Next, it was the end of a relationship,
A love so strong, now just a sinking ship,
The hurt and betrayal that cut so deep,
The loneliness that made it hard to sleep.

But in that pain, a discovery was made,
That self-love is something that cannot be swayed,
And that it's better to be alone and happy,
Than to be with someone who makes life feel crappy.

Then, it was the failure of a dream,
A goal so big, now torn at the seam,
The disappointment that took me by surprise,
The frustration that seemed to paralyze.

But in that setback, a realization was gained,
That failure is not the end, only a change in the terrain,
And that success is not just about reaching the top,
But the journey we take, and the lessons we stop,
For in these broken moments, we find our strength,
We rebuild ourselves, no matter the length.

So, a lot of things broke my heart, it's true,
But through the cracks, my vision grew,
I learned to see the beauty in life's imperfections,
And found the power in resilience and reflections.

In each shattered piece, a new perspective formed,
A stronger, wiser heart that can weather any storm,
So, let the pain and heartbreak be your guide,
To a vision of life where you'll thrive and not hide.
