As the droplet
falls from my eye
to the echoing floor,
I can only feel exposed.
I feel naked,
bare,
open.
I’m most vulnerable.
Words turn into knives
and could cut me deep.
My skin, flaky pale
grows redder with
deep emotion
rushing through my cheeks.
The droplet lays on the floor,
taunting me.
Why now?
After so long,
being so strong,
why now?
