putting myself out there
open and freely
may i always be honest
with you and myself
when you read me
will you understand who I am
can you see beneath the shell
polished by years of dysfunction
and decades of destruction
aimed towards oblivion
when you discover me
will you let me be who i’m meant to be
an incredible, unique, flawed, special, human
meant for better than what i got
can you risk yourself opening
to a world shared and supported
will you grasp that it takes love and nurture
to be whole with me
would you trust me
on this journey
