My Heart

Rate

By Affaf Sheikh

If I can stop one heart from breaking
Is the heart reside in my shattered soul
The soul undergoes turmoil of life
I want to join those broken pieces
Which break either by a loud voice
Or insensitive words of society.

If I can stop one heart from breaking
Is the heart struggling for survival
From those destructive thoughts
When the body exists in the present
And soul wandering in past
Increase lunatic notion

If I can stop one heart from breaking
Is the heart of those who lose Hope
I want them to believe in Creator
That failure is just a brick in ladder of success
As there is always a bright day
After every darkest night.
