Entry 1: Vulnerability

My heart is outside All of my insides are inside out All hidden things are visible Now I am vulnerable With responsibility we count our secrets, tie them to our veins With dignity we shout our triumph, in hopes to mask the break I watch to see if they notice my skin disappear Oh how tired I am of sleeping in my fear If they see me this way, I'll be uncontrolled Without the layers of protection, I feel so cold Shivering in anxiety, frozen in my spine But I desire the possibility of freedom in the outcome The reassurance is subtle and the benefit uncertain But my shelter is broken and I like the view out here So I take my heart outside and turn my insides inside out All hidden things are visible Now I am vulnerable
