If I show my wounds
To you,
Who cares
If you think
I'm being vulnerable
And laud
My moment
Of being
“Human.”
See me crawling
On the ground
Clutching my
Stomach,
Retching,
And
You come
To pick me
Up and take me
Home…
Make sure
I'm ok.
THEN…
We are being
Human together,
The one who
Just HAPPENS
To be
At the moment
Strong,
Helping someone
Who
At the moment
Happens
To be weak,
The spectrum is
Complete.
It isn't all
About the deep
Connective moment
Being vulnerable,
Can be exhausting
As anything else
Can be
When done
To excess.
There's nothing
Wrong with
Talking about
The weather,
But any subject
Can be
Tedious
After three
Or six
Hours.
What ever
Takes us
To our places
Of respite
Lies somewhere
On the entire
Spectrum
Of life
Experiences
Subjects
And silences.
No one has
The authoritative
Stance on
Such a thing,
Though everyone
In their
Opinion feels
Their answer
Is an
Authoritative
One.
Play,
Dance,
Play music,
Love,
Do sports,
Drink,
Read,
Create,
Talk,
Be silent,
Be vulnerable
Or cocky,
Do whatever
The heck
You want…
It's ALL
Human.
Being or
Showing
Weakness
Is only One
Tiny part
Of the brilliance
That is the full
Spectrum of
Human experience.
