Vulnerable

For the first time
I need help
for the first time
my pride took a hike

always rose to top
now I’m not fresh anymore
I seem to flop

my vulnerability
is exposing my inability
to cope with my shortcoming
the truth is
I am going through a power dip

it seems I was brought
down from my high hoarse
in every game
there was a dip
in my scores

there is a loud back fire
in my exhaust
the impact knocked me off coarse
I cannot believe
how many times for help
I have to ask
even the verses
that I write seems lacking…
