keep it secret, keep it safe

there is strength in vulnerability and in exposing your scars to the world.

there is strength in telling the truth, finally, after years of keeping it locked away, keeping it safe.

there is strength in admitting defeat, admitting that you were wrong. admitting that you need help.

there is strength in showing others your breaking point.

i am not perfect. i have many breaking points, many secrets, many scars. (don't we all?)

not a single person knows all of them. or even most.

there was one, but he changed his mind, leaving me afraid to trust anyone with my heart again.

i think it's safer that way.

but it can get tiring, being everything to everyone, and being the keeper of your own heart, never letting anyone else in.

sometimes its okay for someone else to take control for a little while.

i want to let someone else be my keeper for a while. i am tired, so very tired.

but i am afraid that all of me is not good enough to show anyone else.
