w h a t does it mean to be: vulnerable?

What does it mean to be vulnerable?
Open, w i d e-open.
Exposed.
Transparent.
When others choose to: hide, withhold, suppress, repress, reserve, limit and deny-
Y O U,
r e v e a l.
Your heart, your soul: your true nature-
is f u l l y expressed.
You plunge deep into the sea of your tears:
inviting, encouraging and inspiring others to swim with you.
You are: authentic, unapologetic, strong and courageous.
When others surround you: concealed, cloaked and covered-
You stand before them:
unarmed, disrobed and celebrated.
Piece by piece, layer by layer,
petal by beautiful petal,
you’ve allowed
your highest Self to unfold.
You have stripped away all of your disguises-
b a r i n g
Your sacred soul.
You r e m e m b e r.
You l o v e.
