Contusions of The Heart: Poetry by Courtney Holmes

Contusions of the Heart is written to express how quickly emotions change with the damaging ways of the world. The contusions of heartbreak, loss, and rejection inflicted on a person, provoke uncertainty and turmoil. Happiness comes and goes, and my poetry brings to life the imperfections of a human being. Why do we love so hard? Why do we hate even harder? With a patient heart, your eyes will set light to visualize the words of pain along with the cuts and bruises and what life can feel like after they are healed. Our darkest moments should never be hidden. As I grow older, I may never understand the cause of empty feelings, even when I am at my best. Learning to understand that I can fill myself with love and hope, and surround myself with it as well, lets me know I oversee my growth. The sun does not ask the moon to shine when the night is over because he knows his purpose. You ought to reveal what hurts the most and accept it. Feel your way through adversity, passion, regret, and failure so you can start the journey of self-love. Free the mind by healing the contusions of your heart. I give you pain, love, and strength in words.
