Vulnerability Has a Steady Pace

So this is it I'm falling apart

I guess that's the real beauty in art

There's a difference between falling and crumbling down

This time my brain is around


The fear of letting my mask come off

The fear of my face making someone scoff

I thought I could act like I normally do

Then love hit me out of the blue


Blue sapphires are worth more than gold

We start to question what we are told

I'd like to say I’m just shedding skin

But the truth is I don't wish anyone the jail I’m in


I know my brain and heart can be one in the same

They work together to fight my pain

Because love hit me in the face

Vulnerability has a steady pace
