Vulnerability

Vulnerability

When I look inside
It reveals its ugly head

Dare I face it
Dare I chase it

Will it confront me
Or will I confront it

Those thoughts are not my own
They come in from foreign places

They still belong with me
I still have to face them

Is there a message hidden
Something to uncover within

Reveal it to others
With excruciating pain

Never mind, it will go away
To rear it’s ugly head again

It’s time to step up
To believe in myself

To share with the world
My vulnerable self
