Stories We Tell Ourselves

Stories we tell ourselves
Being vulnerable is being alive
Explanation often negates the thing itself
Stale like a deflated balloon
The false confidence of  skewed dispositions
Questioning the things that really count

Stories we tell ourselves  
Being vulnerable is being alive
Explanation often negates the thing itself 
Stale like a deflated balloon  

But being vulnerable is being alive
The false confidence of  skewed dispositions  
Stale like a deflated balloon 
Questioning the things that really count 

The false confidence of  skewed dispositions 
Explanation often negates the thing itself 
Questioning the things that really count
