Too Sensitive
I would say, in my defence That sensitivity is a strength For those who maybe disagree Try put yourself in place of me You will find that how I live Is focused on how to forgive How to let go, let others be So, in time, I can be free To reconcile, learn to atone Is a tricky skill to hone Your heart must remain open wide Revealing all you hold inside Such vulnerability is raw My inner world, an open door But this is how I sense the light See what is wrong, and what is right I understand how it may seem As if I'm living in a dream And in a way, that's how it is Sensitive souls know joy and bliss Yet, at times, this world is cruel Withdrawal is my only tool Blocking out the noise and din Allows me to retreat within And once I'm in my sanctuary I can restore tranquility If this means I'm too sensitive - There are no more cares that I can give
I would say...you do not need to defend your sweet self. Your sensitivity is my joy (how selfish of me - but true!) for it makes me feel less alone. xo
Trudi, this has such deep meaning. When we’re sensitive, we are able to tune into ourselves as well as others, in a way so many have yet to be aware of with their own self. Our strength to feel pain, be empathetic towards others, and at the same time, tune into our own vulnerabilities, is a blessed gift. Strength helps us move on from a bad situation, but also hold on long enough to hear both sides. Strength gives us faith to believe in our inner self, and know we’re home there, and yes, forgiveness takes strength, and if we’re sensitive, then we are aware. There is no such thing as being too sensitive! Another poem that speaks to my soul. Thank you❤️
