In one way or another
Like an unruly flame, you try desperately to put out
Vulnerability happens
Nauseous, breathless, scared and beautiful
Vulnerability emerges begrudgingly
So when we enter the state of boredom
Some may forget to mask the bullshit
And some may even let you see them in their entirety
Vulnerability does not hide behind the safety of acceptance
Nor does it try to control the uncontrollable
It’s the escape from one’s strong persona
It’s the escape from one’s perception of taboo
And for a brief moment
This immense feeling of exposure lingers in fierce gratitude
Because as the hangover subsides
The liberty kicks in
