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
