Cracks of the Heart : Guides in the Dark

"The wounded walk with empathy, their vision clear"
For in their breaks, compassion grew, their purpose near"
"Whilst those unshattered reside in hardened spheres"
"Of comfort cold, where help is insincere"

"Who understands the ache of solitude?"  
"The lonely, in their grasp for kinship's mood"
"For years of disconnect make them subdued"
"To brighten other lives, their attitude renewed"

"Those healed from hurt reach out with hopeful hands"
"To lift up others from where they now stand"
"Their fragiled past leaves them to understand"
"The lost, for they have walked a similar land"

"The broken see the cracks in fellow hearts"
"And offer bandages for others' parts"
"Whilst the unbroken are stuck from the start"
"Unable to perceive where healing starts"

"For only those acquainted with the dark"
"Can guide others out and leave their mark"
"Their wounds make them attuned and stark"
"To light the way for all who embark"

"So when you meet a wounded guide"
"Know that their caring comes from inside"
"For in their healing, they opened wide"
"To fill the voids in others' lives"

"Next time you face uncertain light"  
"Consider who leads with empathy's sight"
"Oftentimes, the broken shine bright"
"With lessons learned from their dark night"

"So offer trust to those who mend"
"The hurts of others, compassion their end"
"For they have braved sorrow without a friend"
"Now seeking, with you, hurts' amends"

"Within their fragile shells, a core"
"Where care for humanity, they store"
"This drives them evermore"
"To spread the love they long for"
