Literature Text

There are some parts of us
That we should keep sacred.
The parts that are hidden
Are sometimes hidden for
Good reason.

I've every faith that
Being vulnerable to
You is probably okay.
But the part of me that
Is weak, is the part
You don't have faith in.

I don't claim to be
More than I am.
I only claim to be
Enough for you.
It's not about being
Strong. Strength lies in
The stories of the heroes.

I can be more than
What you need, and
Less than what you
Hoped for, all in the
Same twenty-four hours.

I'm no different than you,
But I'm different in every way.

This, my thoughts, my words,
Every feeling that is
Scrawled on the pages
Of my electronic journal,
Is now yours.

What will you do with it?
Is vulnerability a mistake? Why do we choose to show the innermost parts of ourselves to a stranger? Is it a test to see if they are in for the long haul? Yes. Ultimately I think it is.
