I have to harden my heart
I have to keep it that way
Many may not understand
But many have not lost
All that they have ever had
When your world gets ripped away
When you are left with nothing
Tell me then that I shouldn’t harden my heart
Tell me then that you understand me from the start
Tell me then that I’m not really alone
Grab my hand and take me home
Love this, I am pretty sure I have a poem with the exact same name. I love it, how different people, experiences, circumstances and lives can have very linked experiences of self within those differences.
You are not alone, I know the feeling and probably have no reason to feel this way (long story) but never alone, many are united in similar experiences, either real or interpreted experiences.

That hardened heart is perhaps the loneliness and most painful place to be in as I spent most my life there.

I’ve had it all ripped away. Don’t harden your heart. You’ll get numb, get lost for awhile. That’s OK. Even good, it allows healing. But hardening your heart, only hurts you. Don’t do it, I beg you.

Pelgris- this is not new for me. I am sharing things that have existed for most of my life that I just haven’t shared before. It is so endearing that you care. You are very kind.
