Vulnerable
Posted on 2003-06-12
Why??? Why this fragility??? Why this hurt???
I don't understand.
It's not fair that there are people so vulnerable and so afraid, and so lost in the deep dark terror all the time.
There are many people in this place with me. I can't control it, and I can't keep people out. I can't keep myself safe, nor you, or the people we each love. I just can't.
Why are we so fragile??? How can we be??? How can we be alive and so fragmented, so in danger???
If any one of us trips and falls, we will break into a million pieces. Maybe I'm not scared of that, but the thought, the fear is so consuming. I'm afraid to say it because I'm afraid of what it might destroy.
