Empty hearts

"Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that."
- Norman Vincent Peale


I want to believe in that. But time and time again life has shown me that I can't get anywhere because I have nothing in my pockets to get me there. Or maybe it's that my heart has grown empty over the years. Maybe my heart is so small there's no room for anything in it. Maybe I was born empty.
