Vulnerability

I hope they don't see it

I hope they don't judge 

I hope they don't underestimate 

And pull me down too much 

I hope it wasn't too shocking,

I hope they weren't taken aback

I hope they don't see right through me,

To discover the strength I lack

I hope they don't notice I'm vulnerable,

That they can break me part by part

I hope they don't see how fragile I am,

That it'd take just one blow at my heart

I hope they don't start talking,

They'd change their opinion of me

I hope that I can still hide that side,

With a brave demeanor I'll conceal

I hope they don't catch even a glimpse, 

I hope they don't notice the real me,

I hope they don't take even a look at the forbidden, 

They'll never see my vulnerability.
