Im sensitive
there i said it
i get hurt easily
i pretend not to care
but on the inside im bruised
red green and blue.
I can be happier than ever
joyful, confident,
but all it takes is one thought
or 3, or 6, they just keep coming
knocking down my card castle of defenses
this, this is why i cry over small problems
because its never the small problems
they just happen to be the one that tips over the teetering tower of stress
whehter im sensitive
or theres something deeper beneath it
im fragile and i hate it
dont get me wrong,
my empathy and softness are some of my best qualities
my refusal to harden and change even under the most pressure
no matter how many times i break, i will remain breakeable, sensitive
because i refuse to lose myself under 30 layers of walls
so maybe i have a weakness
but at least i know it
