The Beat Of A Heart

Your heart beats,
It beats with a steady rhythm.
A rhythm of life and eternal happiness.
Most people think life is easy and full of happiness,
But not everyone's heart beats that way.
Some people's rhythms are slow and fearful,
Others just try to get through each day with a smile.
You feel so trapped and alone in the world of beating.
The rhythm of your heart beat,
Is what helps you through another day.
A day willed with fear and doubt,
Or a day filled with hurt and frustration.
Not everyone accepts everyone's rhythm
So that brings out hate and pain,
And the rhythm of depression and the feeling like you can't go on.
So you find yourself wanting the beating of another ones heart,
A heart unlike your own filled with fear or pain.
You want a strong, proud, courageous beating.
Every night you fall asleep and this is all you ever dream.
You dream about how you can change your heart's beating.
Now you've come to the decision,
Am I going to change the beating of my heart?
Am I going to remain the same, being forever tormented?
Or am I going to end it all and never hear my heart beating again?
You have been going through life with a beating that's painful and
angry.
You've thought through it and decided to end it.
Now you stand there with your life in one hand,
And your cold, painless death in the other.
You close you eyes full of sad, painful tears.
Then you start breathing heavily and notice something.
It is something familiar and true,
It's your heart, beating and telling you to hold on,
And that you're going to pull though.
Your heart will keep beating through everything,
Good or bad, the beat will keep you strong.
Your heart still beats on, forever.
