A Highly Sensitive Nature

How hilarious is being born with a highly sensitive nature; this is unmanly and very rare for someone seldom forlorn. If transformation took place on a public stage, I would be an enraged marionette attached to strings that a puppeteer would pull them up and make me act; and sadder than a tearful boy without a toy: I'll kick my performance into fast gear! Would I be a tiny Pinocchio made of wood and nails? I hate to lie, skip school and be another rascal; Charlamane the Lion fits me better by all means: Bill Baiter is quite funny, his jokes can crack a wall! How silly is to assume that no great stature is found in those with a highly sensitive nature; hiding emotions and feelings and not burst out into hard laughter with friends is missing out a lot!

You have written a poem that captures my feelings in all sorts of ways. I am re-reading it to see what stands out, because frankly it all stands out.
