The Worlds Too Loud and It Scares Me

I said darling 
Open your eyes
You said “Sorry 
The lights too bright
And it hurts me 
I’m sorry”

I said darling 
Uncover your ears
You said “Sorry
The sounds too loud
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling 
Eat this it’s delish
You said “Sorry
It’s too hot and salty 
And it hurts me 
I’m sorry”

I said darling 
Put on your socks
You said “I’m sorry
The seam is too lumpy
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling 
Put on your shirt
You said “I’m sorry 
The tag is too scratchy
And it hurts me
I’m sorry”

I said darling 
You’re too sensitive 
So take these pills 
And go to therapy 
So you will be 
more palpable to me
