I may have a broken heart
but I don't have a heavy heart
I had a heavy heart before it broke
Now that it has broken
It has made way for the heaviness
To escape and drain out
I have a lighthearted broken heart
It may be a broken,
But it is lighter now
Sorrow sets our hearts into a different space; it opens us up to a different perspective. Especially prolonged sorrow like grief can almost be unbearable and forces us to dig deep into our heart to find what really matters, what's worth living for.
It causes us to ask deep questions like, what am I here on this earth for? Who am I?
What's my true identity when everything seems like it's been taken away from me?
More than anything sorrow gives us space. Perhaps it is an uncomfortable space, but within that brokenness we make space for other things we've been repressing and holding on to, to be released.
Breaking down to rebuild. Creating space for new growth.
The need for comfort and strength causes us to turn toward relief or outside sources of strength instead of relying only upon ourselves.
This could be healthy or unhealthy, taking the form of looking to the heavens, or to an unhealthy vice.
When we humble ourselves and let ourselves be pliable, we are making space for supernatural changes to our heart.
Perhaps brokenness it right where we need to be.
Not a form of self-pity or an excuse to have low self-esteem, rather finding my true worth in love for myself and trusting the plan of my life leads to brighter days.
