A Soft Touch

I feel things a bit too deeply.
I analyze a bit too much.
I usually end up feeling guilty.
I am considered a soft touch.

I think things through, then think again.
I have difficulty letting issues go.
Always feel that I have to explain.
And I do let my feelings show.

I feel hurt all the way to my soul.
To be betrayed breaks my heart.
Sometimes I don't feel whole.
I have almost fallen apart.

I am quiet a little too often.
Especially when I have nothing to say.
I choose my words so I am certain,
I don't want to see a look of dismay.

I am the first to say I'm sorry,
Even if I did nothing wrong.
I want to get past it in a hurry.
I go to extreme just to get along.

I could continue on and on,
describing what I'm about.
I do think it's all true,
But I also have alot of self doubt.
