Vulnerable

Julio

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.
