Poetry: Pulling Back Heart Layers

Pulling Back Heart Layers is a soulful healing poem about vulnerability, emotional healing, opening your heart, and gently allowing yourself to be seen.
Sometimes the walls around our heart were built for a reason. They protected us from pain, rejection, disappointment, and the fear of being truly seen. But sometimes the layers that once kept us safe can also begin to keep love, connection, and tenderness out.
This Heart Poem is an invitation to gently meet those layers with compassion—not by forcing yourself to open, but by creating enough safety to let your heart soften in its own time. To let vulnerability become a choice rather than a threat, and to allow more truth, self-love, intimacy, and connection to move through you.
Love,

Transcript

Today's poem is titled Pulling Back Heart Layers you'll see the softest side. Part that's full of light and love, And willing to abide. The second layer is more pliable, It bends but doesn't break. It's where I keep my wounds and feelings, And all the risks I long to take. Deeper still the layers go, Revealing more of me, My fears, My dreams, And my hopes, And all the things I wish to know. The final layer is the core, The center of my soul. It's where my love truly resides and where I feel most whole. It's here where I am vulnerable, Where I let my guard down with you. It's where I'm sensitive and authentic and where my heart beats so true. So I peel back all my layers to discover the dance of love within. For though it may be dark and scary, It's where true divine connection can begin.
