Sensitivity
Don’t take this personal is what they always say
But how can I not when you say it that way
Jokes you may play, but consider me before you comment inconsiderately
Negativity can have an effect on me permanently
Harm me mentally, the only protection are beliefs spiritually
Physically, I know I’m not perfect
My mind not the smartest, no intelligence in every circuit
But my heart is pure, true, and so very fair
Throughout this bottomless pit of my soul, oh so rare
Therefore, I must beware, of the many evils of this time
Everyone forever plotting, trying to change this life of mine
Never will I find, someone who loves me for me
For some reason the outside is all that hey seem to see
Ever will there be, a time I feel content
But it seems unhappiness is a trait I can’t prevent
Many nights I’ve dreamt, that I had a total different mind-frame
Where I never was upset, never did I feel ashamed
For my emotions, no one to blame, only myself at fault
My life has caught, in the jar of Satan himself
The only escapement of this torture seems to be death
Will I ever outgrow my sensitivity, not be so frail
Or will I ever be trapped in this prison, locked inside my own jail?
