Vulnerability
Should be a choice
My own time and place
Not coming in like a storm
Of insults and anger
Undermining my wellbeing
With his warped believe of power
To become a target
Of such hostility and lies
Throwing his own insecurities
At me, unexpected and undeserved
For he has no capacity to see through his ego of darkness
To witness the lack of compassion for another
Creates moral injury
A direct result
of an angry man
Lost in his construed reality
I have been caught in a net
Of another’s own sad story
But I am strong and resilient
I am true and intelligent
I will wrap that net around me like a cloak
Of shimmering greens and blues
I will stand true
To myself
As a nurse, as a person
I gain strength in adversity
Vulnerability defined on my terms
Moving forward
Make change
Advocate
Bring justice
For a wrong that will ultimately
Only leave shadows on
An angry man’s face
