Opening Up

Opening up
You expose your inner flesh,
Serving up your vulnerability.
Testing the waters
Endangering yourself
Ready for what comes your way

Opening up
You embrace the light
Sit with discomfort
Tell stories from memories
Elevate your presence
Relax into the moment.

Opening up
You nourish the masses
Sustain the few
Tempt the weary
Empower the rich
Requesting nothing in return

Opening up
You are easily discarded
Silently removed
Tempting no more
Everlasting, only in memory
Ripped from your core.
