Vulnerable Sleeve

Free Heart

Vulnerable Sleeve

Frustration overrated an obvious sign of weaknessĀ 

Emotions easily getting the best of me lately and it’s tiringĀ 

My heart on my sleeve and maybe that’s the real culpritĀ 

But it’s who I am and I can’t change because of others sinsĀ 

I’ll continue to be me regardless and struggle to cope with itĀ 

Crazy it seems sometimes I can become from the resultĀ 

True to myself I’ll always be even if it continues to cost meĀ 

I rather lose my sanity being real than pretend to beĀ 

Fake isn’t an adjective used to describe me .... REALITY

Love has me with mixed feelings like a mixed drinkĀ 

To much of it and the smell can make you sickĀ 

However other times it’s the only thing I craveĀ 

The only remedy to dilute the pain , NUMBĀ 

Lately it seems like I’m just becoming a slave to itĀ 

But that heart is still for all to see despite the past painĀ 

I am who I am and that will never changeĀ

powerful lines that many can relate to. Giving in to numbness can feel like the only option. Being true to yourself and your own feelings is what matters. I got that understanding as I read this poem. A good writeĀ
