Vulnerable

we are all vulnerable at times
the toughest among us weakens
strength falters and stumbles
the chink in our armor opens wide
for the painful jab at our hearts
but know this makes us human
warm and living though we may be
the vulnerability of ours souls
makes the warmest someday cold
depression creeps with stealth
into our mind's emotion factory
a quiver is felt deeply inside
our teeth grit with the anxiety
for we know the painful jab
is only moments away
