My Patched Up Heart

​My Patched Up Heart

My muscles pinched sections of my pale body

And my breathing was a little out of whack,

I zigzagged like a three legged dog.

I marveled at the view as it amazed me to see that people have been climbing

That long and I was just one of many to anyone else it may have been just another

Pile of rocks to climb, For me it was an "I proved you wrong"

Even though the doctors saved my life, they enchained me with limitations

They thought my patched-up heart could handle

I felt my possibilities were endless and I remembered

A compass that does not point to anywhere is neither

Lost nor broken but free.
