Vulnerable
Expression of oneself opens vulnerability
Vulnerable to criticism that stings
Criticism that i’ve felt all these years
Perfectionism has destroyed me
Perfectionism has wounded my soul
Perfectionism has made me lose my way
Expression of oneself has made me vulnerable
Vulnerable to lose it all
To lose my way, directions, path
To the way forward to happiness
Expression of one opens vulnerability
About this poem
This poem is the conflict I have expressing myself. I am going through a divorce and all these years I tried to express myself I felt myself destroyed by perfectionism from my other.
