Living Out Loud

img_7696

We don’t get a sound check for our heart beats,
but we get to choose what keeps it going..
we decide what’s worth latching on to.

The way it sounds is different than another,

it beats the way it’s meant to,

for you and only you.

There’s no telling what will make our pulse beat faster,

what will cut the breaks,

who will steady the patter,

who won’t make it feel a thing;

but I hope that whatever it is that makes your heart go full throttle,

whoever makes it sing and dance to the soundtrack of your life,

I hope that is who you always,

always,

fight for.
