Vulnerability

It is hard to feel

Painful to experience

To give

 

Vulnerability

A necessity for connection

It is tough

 

Open hearted

Take risks

Become rejected

Feel deserving of love

 

Every one deserves

Joy

Excruciating to get to

One moment to the next

 

Joy pain joy pain

The Buddha was right

Life is suffering

Enjoy it

Be vulnerable to it

Embrace it

Live it

 

You are worthy

Of the pain

Of the joy

Of love

Of connection

 

Of life

You are worthy

Poem # 28

Shyness like a disease

Spreads through out my body

Its green putrid pus coming out

Of my leg

Like infection eating a burn

A shot in the butt will not help

I want to have friends

To listen to people

To actually hear what they have to say

And digest their wisdom

And their being

Into my heart

I am deaf, blind, and numb

The infection spreading its

Malicious malevolence 

Into my brain

I am a robot

The disease has won

I am deadened

It is too late for me

I am already programmed

Green putridness flowing like a river

Out of all my pours

Its emerald stench is so strong

I cannot smell anything but shampoo

I am the disease

The reason why

Brothers war on brothers

Smell my monstrous contagion 

As the secretion runs down your spine

And into your heart

I am jade

Burned with no pain

I cannot feel

A thing
