Rewire
It takes courage to be vulnerable
Show your imperfect self
Undress awkwardly
In full view
Show the framework of your
transformation, transition
unveil
as you traverse your triggers
unravel the reasons
rewire your neural pathways
discover a different response
Then candidly come forth
express your human frailty
The inner workings, or rather default
The ever expanding work in progress
that is you
to the one you would like to be perfect for
to the one whose name is first on your lips
to the one who speaks to you without words
the one who is held in your heart
It takes courage to hold space
when they show you their vulnerability
To trust as you see their imperfect self
Compassionately watch them disrobe
In full view
Confidently know this is the framework of
transformation, transition
premature unveiling
Understand they are triggered
Know the reasons will unravel
look forward to the new path
the opportunity for improved relations
With welcome arms hear honest revelations
Listen to their human
the inner workings
celebrate the willingness for self exploration,
to expand themselves
to you who they have risked losing
to you whose name is that of their beloved
to you whose eyes hold stories
to you who lives in their heart
