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
