Vulnerability is Scary

Today, let me cry

For I’ve been smiling for the longest time,

while giving life a try.

Today, let me mourn

For my soul who only strives to survive,

just to feel alive.

Today let me bleed

For my deepest scars hurt all over again,

I can’t withstand them anymore.

Today let me feel how weak I am

For I’ve been refusing to accept my weakest points,

And for once, it would be nice not to pretend I’m fine.

Today, just let me go,

Let me suffer,

Let me hurt.

And after today,

I’ll carry on into the battleground

I created on my own,

and I know somehow... I’ll get by.
