These Days - A Collaboration With WillowsWhimsies

Where are the real souls  
Unafraid to be themselves  
Scarred and raw with honest words  
 
Why are hands more often open  
Than hearts and minds  
More willing to take than share  
 
What happened to unapologetic truth  
Finding joy in less than more  
Opening windows rather than closing doors  
 
Who said it was okay  
To make emotions unavailable  
In the name of not getting hurt  
 
I’d give my next heartbeat  
To receive true sincerity  
But it seems these days that’s a rarity
