Vulnerable

to be human is to be in vulnerability - Brene Brown

When faced with obstacles

Will to live were lost

I had to shout ‘em,

Remove their existence

In proximity to vulnerability though

I couldn’t utter a word

 

When faced with love

I dreamt to lose you

Doubted your intentions

‘cause I never was used to be hugged

So  vulnerable and insecure

Were my soul

I erased your face from my painting

Many times we are not treated properly early on so hugs seem invasive and we are insecure about everything

[Gaurav]

thank you for your review

I think we are all vulnerable when we first fall in love. Not knowing perhaps whether the feelings will be reciprocated. There is vulnerability in sickness and old age too. It has it has its own kind of beauty. Good to read you Gaurav.

I want to believe its the vulnerability that makes the whole experience lovely sometimes. The fear of the unknown,the hope to hold on and making it last.

I love it.

A touching master piece.
You described such a deep phenomenon in so few words that it left me utterly awestruck.
Loved the honest and innocent voice.
Kudos!

[andrew mitchell]

better to erase than be tormented by her image, a haunting nightmare could arise!

[Gaurav]

Andrew, what if we could live a spotless mind...

[Stan Lee]

Don't be scared of things that seem too good to be true. :) Great poem Gaurav!

[Gaurav]

Someone wrote we exist due to imagined realities...

[Ruth]

I think some fear vulnerability and yet to me it can be a strength if we know how to address the causes perhaps...it is a strange barrier at times and this nicely portrays that...blessings...

[Gaurav]

Nice take on grace that follows from vulnerable mind. Thanks.
