[Vulnerable]

Show me your scars.

How resilient you are.

Show me the ones you cover

The ones you hide from others

Not the ones that once bled

Red

And crusted

Scabbed and fell

Tell me about the ones that never bled but hurt like hell

I’ll show you mine

In due time

How can time travel so fast, yet tears roll so slowly down the bridge of my nose

And I taste salt.

Trust.

Break me into newness

Love me until I can feel again

Risk

Allow

Your heart to feel

Hurt

To heal

I forgot periods of time

Blocked

For my safety and the safety of others

Vault.
