BROKEN AGAIN

YES, I'M BROKEN,

BROKEN YET AGAIN;

HEART SCARRED

BECAUSE I WEAR IT ON MY SLEEVE,

CAN'T YOU SEE?

IT'S TORN ASUNDER

AND IT'S BEEN BLEEDING, IT SEEMS,

LIKE FOREVER.

IT'S WRONG WHAT THEY SAY, YOU KNOW,

"STICKS AND STONES HURT MY BONES,

BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME."

WHOEVER WROTE THAT,

OBVIOUSLY NEVER HAD SOMEONE THEY LOVE

FLING HURTFUL WORDS AT YOU

THAT MAKE YOU WISH YOU WOULD HAVE RATHER

BEEN STONED TO DEATH

THAN TO RECEIVE

MORE HATEFUL THINGS

INTO YOUR VERY SOUL.

FOR LIFE FLOWS FROM YOUR HEART,

BUT HOW CAN LIFE RUN THREW

SOMETHING SO BATTERED AND BRUISED?

PROVERBS 4:23 - ABOVE ALL ELSE, GUARD YOUR HEART, FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FLOWS FROM IT.
