Water

Vulnerability is 

soft rain

drizzling on my face,

traveling down my cheek;

a river surging, 

brushing past my lips,

dropping. 

Vulnerability is refusing to be 

a faucet when you are a 

waterfall.

Vulnerability is 

a gentle kiss, the dew of the morning,

a commanding yell, unrelenting, storming, flooding;

a soft mother,

a cold fighter. 

I am both

soft rain and surging rivers.
