As fragile as I am
As strong as I am to start showing my vulnerability
As reluctant as I am to show my inner self
as opportunistic that I am to seize every opportunity to do so
So many contradictions that are all so similar to which goal they lead
The contradictions make the obstacles so vivid, it all becomes clear
signal fires from old behavior begging to die
Bearing the incredible soothing rainstorm dousing the painfull fire
mending it with tears, healing the sore
listening to the screams that can be heard when acknowledging the fire
soothing the voices to silence with simple words but spoken with a depth of sincere understanding
"It's okay"
we lay open, tortured by our own pain
we fall some get up and build lives around obstacles in an attempt to lead comfortable lives
but still we lay open, bare and we feel the wounds
yet for some it blends in like background noise, just winds rotating around the obstacles
but I trudge along in the open scars, digging deeper towards someone I have always wanted to meet and look him straight in the eye with nothing but a look of sincere understanding
and simple words I would say:
"It's okay, let's go outside for a walk"
and I would guide myself outside
and look at the world for the first time..
