Hardened exterior ever so slightly More of a facade, a mask. Sheltered tenderness Seldomly shines through. But ask me? It most certainly is not true. This feeling, so unnatural And surprisingly poignant too. It seeds a knot in my throat. Powerless. Weakness. I will not let them collaborate with me For I cringe, as this cannot be. I know, I should not be this way, But for now, I am going to stay. I do not have the courage You see, To face and claim this thing Called vulnerability. But one day Just maybe... My arms will be open free.

Sheltered Tenderness
Hardened exterior ever so slightly More of a facade, a mask. Sheltered tenderness Seldomly shines through. But ask me? It most certainly is not true. This feeling, so unnatural And surprisingly poignant too. It seeds a knot in my throat. Powerless. Weakness. I will not let them collaborate with me For I cringe, as this cannot be. I know, I should not be this way, But for now, I am going to stay. I do not have the courage You see, To face and claim this thing Called vulnerability. But one day Just maybe... My arms will be open free.
