"Life is too short"

Why can we not ever dive in and expect to fall?
What are we so afraid of?
Someone seeing  all your flaws,
knowing your history,
healing your wounds?
Why is it so hard to be vulnerable?
To be beautiful?
To be real?
Why must we complicate the truth with lies,
Redeem Satisfaction with pride?
Life is too short my friends, too short!
Instead, why don't we try to say "why not"
Dive in and expect to fall, and that's OK!
To stand unafraid of being vulnerable,
unafraid of beauty, that is so bright in you.
To be ourselves, without a measuring stick comparing you and me!
To be honest, even if it is the most painful thing!
To be satisfied, without making others feel worthless!
that would be a long-lived life!
That would be worth living for!
