Vulnerability is the key
to the real me
to be free
to just be me
put myself out there
so much I have to share
if I dare
when you get over the fears
over the years
over the tears
over the beers
if anyone hears
vulnerability draws you in
you understand the predicament I am in
cuz it is something we all are in
whether we choose to admit it or not
when we have the courage to do so it is so hot
the courage to say I'm afraid
man, you've got it made
check it out you know it's true
if I am wrong hope I hear from you
even if you agree
get in touch with me
don't be afraid to be you
to yourself be true
when you keep yourself open
let the rope in
to allow hope in
let yourself feel
that's the real deal
this calls for much thought
that can't be bought
just shared
and dared
cuz someone like me cared
able to be vulnerable
is truly honorable
agree or not
still hits the spot
somehow someway
maybe you will get this someday
If not I tried
I have no pride
or use for it
no excuse for it
I must admit
I can't seem
to digress from this theme
so I better go
before it turns into a novel
I like this a lot, especially the ending.
