I Water the Vulnerable Parts MAG
March 18, 2018
Rooms capture nothing
Without wallpaper
Coverless books
Dangle bare
Eroding the roots
Of cotton-bound truths
Silently harbored there
Downfacing clouds
Quench fire-filled mouths
Bored deep
Into purple-red air
Branches stand scorched
Under grandmother’s porch
Soil begins to flare
No hiding from
Magnified eyes
No burying
Faces once feigned
The warrior rose,
Petals once closed,
Welcomes a touch of rain

This poem was written in an effort to explain my journey toward being comfortable with vulnerability and allowing those closest to me to help me develop my inner self.
