Vulnerable

Heart beating faster

Anxiety courses into my veins

Is this worth chasing after?

Or is my life truly in vain?

Can’t find the words to say

Thinking on an eternity of thoughts

I suppose the only thing one can do is pray

That my effort would not be all for nought

Spew my heart on this rug

It looks messy, doesn’t it?

Don’t lose yourself, you may get stuck

Vulnerability is a weakness, isn’t it?

I’ve spent my time letting you know

Do me a favor and don’t ignore me

I’m teetering between life and hope

Your response is the only place I find peace

Please…

Give me relief

  2. ok – it is time for you to stop reading my journal …
    This is so incredibly on-center. Solid write, it emotes well.

    … ah, there’s the rub.

      Thank you! Indeed, the rub is real. It’s a tough spot to be in but in all reality, vulnerability pushes you towards more strength than hiding does. Ironically.
