Paper Heart
When you keep a paper heart, you will find yourself writing all over it. Scribbles here, and doodles there. Some will have erased marks on it, and others scratched out names in ink. Though over time, all the writing, doodling, erasing and marking out will wear the paper thing, and soon tear it up. One day, it will end up, crumbled up, at the bottom of a trash bin; all the notes, names, dates, feelings and memories all forgotten and thrown away, just like a simple piece of paper.
Heart of Stone
Heavy and tiring may be a few things you feel weighing you down, walking around with a heart of stone. You're able to deflect feelings of all kind; good, bad, and everything in between. Though in a round-about-way, you are doing more bad than good to yourself. That stone will cause wounds in your being, wounds that no one can see, and no one can feel but you. If you watch a rock out in nature, over a few months it starts to erode away. The elements of the world break it down, or the hand of a child breaks it completely. One good storm, or one good arm could be the end of that stone, and the end of your heart.
The Cold Heart
Harboring a cold heart does nothing but harm for the body, mind and the soul. Sickly with infectious feelings of anguish and pain, you will grow secluded and distant from what you know and who you are. You do not trust, because you have been deceived. You fear because you have been hurt. One day you will have to let go of these feelings, these fears and insecurities, and let the ice melt away, bringing back to life, the feelings you willingly froze.
Flesh Hearted
Considerable the most painful, yet the most rewarding at the same time. You feel happiness, sadness, hurt and love; along with everything else in between. You are compassionate and can be heavy with grief too. When you love, you love hard, and forgive slowly. The flesh hearted will willingly give their heart to a deserved persons, and ask for nothing in return.
Regardless of your story; regardless of your journey, choose wisely. Choose your heart wisely. Don't let your mind and heart feud and lead you astray. Listen to both equally and find common ground. You don't want to find yourself alone in a room full of people, knowing that someone in there is willing to love you with all their heart, and the only thing that you can giver them in return is a hollow shell of a person. Choose the condition of your heart wisely.
I think we all have times with each of these showing thru. I know I personally had a time frame pop in my mind as I read each paragraph. I used to write like you do a lot... the past year or two I found I didn't need too. I found that I finally broke through all the walls and became the flesh hearted as you describe. Today, I broke! So much has happened, I broke, but instead of crying and getting mad I'm sitting here looking at the 2 pages i wrote within the past 5 minutes. It helps but I think it takes a special type to have it natural at all times. and I give you your props!
