Vulnerable – exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, emotionally or physically

WRONG!

What people do not know is that the term vulnerable originally meant both ‘being susceptible to attack or damage’ AND ‘having the power to hurt or damage’

There is a misconception that being vulnerable is ‘to expose your weakness’ but it is in fact ‘to show your strength’.

Strip yourself of your armour and your shields

For with their burden, you do not have the strength to carry your yield

There is a bravery shown when you remain unguarded

And everyone knows, cowardice is so rarely rewarded

Maybe if you let down your defences…

The blessing you have been waiting for commences

What remains closed is open to attack

The truth can only be exposed if it’s held back

Coz what makes you vulnerable

Is what makes you beautiful

Open up and see what’s in store for you!
