Vulnerable.

These days
Everybody walks around with shields
High enough to touch the clouds
We've built them overtime
After suffering from the damage
That the past has created
After all the heartbreaks and all the harsh words
You've carried along with you and your best decision
Was to build a fortress
But a day will come when you're walking
Around with your shields held to the sun
And realize that those sun rays hit you
Your heart should be in exile
At the fact that your shield has been compromised
But all you're left with is a wide smile
Tracing through the shield reveals
That it's still intact
But just not to everybody anymore

Why doesn't it burn like it used to
Why doesn't it hurt anymore

And that day has come where
There's that one person that
Can slip through the cracks
One person who can make you beam
When you never thought that
You'd get your smile back
That person you can call home
And for the first time
In a very very long time
Your heart is left unguarded and you don't react
Because this person makes you feel safe
When you're open and left vulnerable
They read and understand all your words
And even the ones that are left unspoken
You've been opened
And for the very first time
In a very very long time
You're not mad at that
