Becoming Undone

The art of being vulnerable

My body

Moved to the door without my consent

and slid it closed behind my back.

Even she is trying to save me from myself.

Later, I sit on the step of the greenhouse and feel every emotion

I've ever had flood through me.

How can I turn off my thoughts?

Like a wave of sand, I am

Pelted with every thought, every worry of him.

I shatter.

    Beautiful! "my body moved without my consent", too often we feel like this as if stuck inside of a role we cannot get out of.
