maybe?

how do you stay open from a gut punch she asked?

i don't know......i answered.
i just don't know.

maybe you realize the punch wasn't about you.
sure, it LOOKED like it was about you.
it SOUNDED like it was about you.
it HURT like it was about you....

but maybe what we gotta know is ............it isn't about you.
it really isn't.

gut punches come from insecurities, weaknesses, fears.....that
kinda thing........

stayin' open is KNOWING that.

staying open is believing in yourself.
knowing who you are.
KNOWING your worth....
and turning to those who also know it and opening to them.

and to the one who threw the punch?
seeing their insecurities, weaknesses, fears.........ALLOWING them
to be.....and moving away from them.........for now anyway.

it's the allowing them to be that's being open to them.
it's the moving away that's being open to you.
it's the healthy stuff that allows you to open your heart......

maybe?
but then again....i just don't know..........
