Complicated Heart

The average human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during a lifetime. It weighs on average 250 g to 300 g in females and 300 grams to 350 grams in males. Thats the biology of it.

But has anyone been able to give a number to the number of times the heart skips a beat or the weight of heart when it becomes heavy. The heart really is a complicated little thing that pumps life into us.

In the very heart buzzing with activity, there is a silent corner, from its depth a thousand emotions vibrate with every heartbeat. Countless feelings in unsaid words, whispered to self. These words and thoughts encircle the head like an invisible halo. These words. They trouble you. They comfort you. They puzzle you. They protect you. They calm you. They engulf you. They wrap you. At times your emotions are all you have and it is more than enough.

Don't know what to say now
Don't know where to start
I don't know how to handle
A complicated heart
