Vulnerability

I’m tired of being hurt, I’m tired of my feelings being dragged through the mud and left there without a care, I’m tired of people thinking they can take advantage of me, I’m tired of being looked at as weak... I’m just tired! People can be so cold you would think they are dead already and they’ve lost their body heat... I try to smile but I can’t help but to think that things won’t get better.... I try to be brave and look confident but the world seems to have a way to show I’m not those things.... I’m head strong but others opinions matter so much to me... but that’s no help because those same opinions are what seems to tear down my self-esteem... the opinions that split my self-esteem apart fiber by fiber... making me drown deep into a depression... so deep I can’t make my way up to the top... my continuous cries for help go unnoticed and unimportant... my self-esteem is gone.... all because I let the world see a weak spot... all because someone took advantage of my vulnerability.... someone saw how unconfident I was and preyed on my weakness... now I’m left with no self-esteem and very low confidence... It’s my fault though for showing the world my vulnerability, right?
