Opening Just Like Everybody Else

it is always easy to
open
all you have to do is
spread
sometimes you get so
thin
and people do not notice
even if
it is you at
all

it is always safe to open
together when they open
like umbrella during a sudden rain

this way
no one minds you
no one notices what you are
this way
you are safe and comforted

everyone is like you in the open
no one is unique
and no one hurts you again
