Lilly Emery Poet Narrative

Vulnerability

VULNERABILITY

I Proceeded to face my vulnerability
it crowned me in a place of darkness
where I couldn’t find any forgiveness,
I was dwindling in all these pains
of a life unkindness.

Where people walk around in blindness
Oh, what a mess I was lead,-
that prepares me to walk in the weathering nightmare
where it has a rebirth in a place of thorns
that has ascended from wild roses in the fields,

oh, sleepy earth look what you have done
all beauty of life is disappearing in the shadows
where my spirit is vexed,-
I hear all the chattering coming from this old town.
It has a way of keeping me down
feeling there isn’t away out.

I watch how people grow more foolish by the days.
They tried so hard to control me from doing what I love
they have shamed my name, called me many things
watching me bleed away on those rainy nights
where I did procrastinate from my typing
Oh, I had always loved writing.

But when I am alone I have time to think
but when the silence makes its way in
my spirit soon sinks,-
I hear would hear all those nagging little voices
eating away all my courage to face another day
leaving me so vulnerable because of the abuse
leaving me feeling so used.
