Wanted to leave but I couldn’t, “cheap TRIcks” he said
Left and my cheeks burned
I listened to better understand
But it can never be enough
Existentially
To understand and be understood
Be oneself, let your guard down
Get caught off guard
Rejection lurks in small corners
Heart, pride, feather will always keep me coming
A human blessing and flaw, one I shall not fix
Imperfection
And you will call my bluff
.vulnerable.
