vulnerability

Fri, 02/27/2015 - 16:49 -- Soulae

I used to think weakness was defined by how much you opened your mouth up,

how everyone could pick pieces of your words and throw stones ready to judge,
how they could use your words against you just to put shame in your soul,
make you feel bad for expressing how you feel, and just tell you to stop being a punk and let it go, I thought it was stupid to express my feelings, 
like who wants to listen what I have to say, I’m too emotional,
so let me eat my words, stick em under my tongue and hold em there until I’m numb,
But now I see vulnerability doesn’t make you look weak, it shows strength, 
an ability to pull on your own strings and play a note without someone giving you a song, Be vulnerable, 
speak your heart out with no shame cause it’s for your own good, releasing negative energies will make you powerful, 
just don’t go giving your heart to anything walking on earth cause that’s just plain stupid.
