i luv how this poem flows ... when we are vunerable, we open our selves to the beauty within us ... great poem, Kate ...

Kate,

So much conveyed in so few words--you've captured what I'm feeling spot on!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

Kate, even if one does try to dissect and/or scrutinize us, do “they” ever truly know who we are? I firmly believe that those who make one feel vulnerable end up with the short end of the stick. One must be allowed to grow in order to experience the true benefits of such growth! Excellent work. Thank you for sharing it. Take good care and be well.

The essence of being poetic.
You've captured it well, Kate!
"Always vulnerable" So true.
Great write!

great write, kate! well done! :)

Reminds me of a poem I wrote awhile back, Kate. But yours ends with your heart open and bleeding. Mine was shut against the pain. However it hurts, to remain vulnerable leads to growth and strength. A hard lesson to learn. Ironic isn't it?

A quite profound and interesting poem, Kate.

Baring and brave write Sweet Kate, and one a lot of us will understand all too well. Great audio poem today by the way as well. You did great and you have a wonderfully sexy accent. Well done.

Your talent was shining right from the start in this delightful poem.

You can feel the emotion in this, makes the reader feel abused and bleeding- good work.

One of your best. Fast moving. Crystal clarity.
Perfect form....
