Poetry

What is it

That I have to offer you

Other than my words and my actions

And in those moments I am vulnerable

And something I’m okay with that as I open up and share who I am with you.

But other times, it feels too open and raw, and I want to hide away.

And not get too close for when I show me is when you hurt me.

I know I should learn to trust more, but it’s hard when you’ve been cut more than you would have liked.
