From the Heart
Being true to ourselves and honest with those around us can be difficult. It is hard to lay ourselves bare, open up and show our vulnerabilities. But to remain closed to the opportunity of growth and discovery in living only by the ideals of others, is to live only through the eyes of others.

I embrace my vulnerability,
it’s so necessary for me.
I’ve a willingness to show myself,
so you can really see.
A person who is fearful,
one who carries shame.
Who understands her feelings,
like those connected to pain.
There’s more to me, there’s love and joy,
these I bring out too.
If you can see my vulnerability,
why not show yours too.

There is something present inside me,
that cannot be falsified.
I do admit as my younger self ,
I pushed it right down inside.
What was inside kept hidden away,
I would never let come out.
Eventually giving into it,
on realising what life was about.
I’m open now,
I can’t help myself, I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Those who know say I always was,
the toughness make-believe.
I can’t keep it in if I’m feeling it,
to do so would just be to deny.
Before I know it’s out of my mouth,
I sometimes ask myself why.
In writing I’m told I’m vulnerable,
in showing myself to you.
But what the point of writing,
if your saying what’s not true.
I talk of love, the purpose of life,
of what it means to me.
In my writing I show honesty,
it’s what I want you to see.
