Vulnerability is a core understanding
I am afraid of vulnerability
Through my vulnerability I experience pain
If I have touched somebody else's vulnerability I feel guilt

Because of my vulnerability
I have something to lose
and value gets created

Sadness develops,
and with that joy

Demise develops
and with that the awareness of time

So how about my zest for life

Without a zest for life
I would surrender to my fear,
run away from the pain
and attempt to remain innocent

I would wait quietly for death,
without any awareness of time
Acknowledge my vulnerability,
but expose myself as little as possible

Vulnerability is a core understanding
but my zest for life is the fire and the fuel

The zest for life is the reason that I continue,
with everything,
with life,
with mu

Through my zest for life
I know I can life with reality
even without truth

My zest for life feeds me,
fulfils me
Makes me hungry
