Share Being vulnerable is not easy Giving in and letting go No more hiding or pretending Letting truthful feelings show And it’s scary, that’s for certain Who would like to stand this test? It’s as if one dares to open Heart and mind and even chest But the wise one will acknowledge That the need for that is real For the one who keeps a distance Will not know how it is to feel And to feel is to experience To experience is to live This gives reasons to be thankful Even reasons to forgive And forgiving is a virtue This is how we bond and grow Those who do not wish for bonding Think they live, but they don’t know They’re like plants with pretty flowers Put in pots upon a sill But come closer and you’ll notice They are plastic, what a thrill! To be vulnerable is daring You’ll have to put yourself out there Well, so what, all this is useful For you’ll have a lot to share Be it pain, or be it pleasure Be it happiness or grief Show that you’re not scared of feeling Just share and you will find relief.
