Shot through the Heart
As I hear the familiar first line of an 80’s song
I realize that is how I am feeling
Pierced, gravely injured
not in body, but in spirit
I can’t make myself attend an exercise class
when I need it so very badly
but my spirit is injured
and I just don’t have it in me right now
to meet new people,
and extend an effort to engage,
putting on a smile that I don’t feel
I refuse to wallow,
so I will go on a walk
or do an exercise video
and push and stretch my body
I will put my pen to paper
and stretch my mind and
restore my soul with prayer
I can take steps to heal my heart
but since someone else
put the hole there,
I think they are going to
need to help repair it

I feel ya Katie!
So do I! … And that longing to have the person who put the hole there help repair it is SO real. Yup.
