The Boundaries of Sensitivity

When I look at you I see a fragile balloon Stretched so thin is the membrane which contains you Outside the rubber we stand Needles fiercely at hand I try and try to block the other’s attack Or substitute dull knives so you won’t crack However, my own is bubbling, yearning to pop As I slowly realize that I hold a power I can’t contain or hope to stop “Sensitivity” You ask? What? I need to better safe guard? You gave me this power. Walk around like I am the one surrounded with more glass? Abuse was inevitable from bias eyes Easily spawning your destructive lies You seem to forget my discipline exceeds on my part Sorry sweetie, there is not human that can safely hold your heart
