Brittle boy, body of porcelain feelings of glass A flurry of punches left him battered the slightest insult, shattered

Some of us are sensitive and fragile. We should always be careful not to offend or cause pain in others that are sensitive. Thanks for sharing Gershon...

There are people who are quite brittle. They cannot take anything harsh or hard. For such people, life will ever be a struggle ! Well presented !

It is shameful that anybody is battered or shattered. Bruises heal. Insults take longer. Very true Rhyme, Gershon

it's true, Shirley. Insults can be worse than 'sticks and stones.' ~ gw
