Vulnerability is going to save me
It scares me but it’s necessary
Even when I am embarrassed
That is where I will grow the most
I will come out of it safe regardless how I feel
Regardless of how ashamed I may feel
Some things are nice to share
It builds community
Vulnerability is going to save me
What I’m sharing these days makes me feel seen
