Sometimes...

...she is soft

...she feels wounded

...she isn't fearless afterall

...she doesn't want to be strong

...she can't hide everything

...she aches

...she needs to be touched, gently

...she is unsure

...she wants to be held, enveloped

...she trembles with vulnerability

...she has trouble breathing

...she bleeds

...she says it out loud

...she screams with her mouth closed

...she gets tired

...she lets her tears escape
