A Meaningless Collection

To Venerate My Vulnerability

I've always been afraid of showing too much

of myself to others

of exposing my vulnerability

Too many times have people picked

endlessly on my superficial qualities

So how can I reveal to you what lies within?

Is it pathetic that I find solace in God?

Do I believe in Him sincerely

or am I simply comforted by the thought

that someone knows me?

Humans are such vain creatures

and I'm one of them

Yet I must sacrifice my buried insecurities

to uncover greater empathy

I'd gladly throw off my demons

just to be vulnerable

with you.
