"vulnerabilty" poems
In the civilization game
The mind is a sphinx riddle
Signpost projectiles suffice to be words
Can you be centered in intimacy
Knowingness consuming vulnerabilty?
Our shadows are our ruins
Illuminating social foliage
Love's incisive lacerations
Conforming to moral memory
I savor the overwhelming

She tries hard to hide her feelings ~ and not wear them on her face
But look closely and you can see them ~ things that time cannot erase
The secrets that she carries ~She is not allowed to share
Although she wants to tell you ~Fearing judgment she won’t dare
She struggles just to stay alive~ Trying her best but you can’t see
Others tell her to lay down her burdens ~So then she can be free
Her vulnerabilty invisible to others ~ Tears shed only when alone
On the outside she is perfect~On the inside broken and alone
She hesitates to continue on ~balancing high up on the ledge
She wonders what would happen~If she were to leap off of the edge
Fearful of the future~Unable to work through the past
Strength and courage once her armor~Are now things of the past
Her trust and faith once again shattered~Why take another chance
She wonders if it is better to walk away without a second glance

Like the falling star,
out of the blue
and you, Out of the dark
Showed me I’m not really
completely falling apart
Like the stars,
you talked to me
Showering me with
kindness and vulnerabilty
Keeping me company
from my wavering sanity
and starting anxiety
Like the moon, it feels like
I knew who you are
but you’re a stranger afar
from the simple world
I created so far
Would you come again
like you did before?
would you show me again
How it’s easy to fall
and crawl and feel alive
Like how you patched
the constellation for me
on that lonely autumn night.
