Vulnerability

Whenever I am all alone,
I feel so very vulnerable,
There I am all on my own,
Open to attack.

But as well as when I'm all alone,
I feel it when with a guy
I sit there suffering only in silence,
For words I cannot say.

I try to speak, but it's far too hard,
I cannot find the words.
There I sit just patiently waiting,
To see what will come of this.

When I'm with a group of people,
I talk to my heart's content,
But if it's only me and him,
I'm so scared I just clam up.

I wouldn't be classed as the vulnerable type,
But we all can suffer at times.
I put on a front to cover up,
But now I just can't cope.

I'm fed up of pretending 'bout who I am,
I'm scared as scared can be,
And when I'm left alone with him,
I feel my vulnerability.
