You sit there.
Head lifted high,
Speaking with confidence.
This is where you fit in,
where you belong.
This is where you are strong.

Little do they know,
the vulnerability you possess,
How it can take over and grab you
like a wave dragging sand out to sea.
If they knew,
your vulnerability,
they would take over
take advantage
take your world.
Stay strong.
