Our Most Vulnerable
Maybe the phrase has
always meant to misdirect
A gunmen is taking aim
at shadows in dark corners
It must be someone’s job to ask
after each life still here
I was once someone noticed
each must consider
No fear I know like alone
awake & shaking
Losing all my grounding thoughts
with no protectors left
