A Highly Sensitive Nature

How hilarious is being born
with a highly sensitive nature;
this is unmanly and very rare
for someone seldom forlorn. 

If transformation took place on a public stage,
I would be an enraged marionette 
attached to strings that a puppeteer
would pull them up and make me act;
and sadder than a tearful boy without
a toy: I'll kick my performance into fast gear!

Would I be a tiny Pinocchio made of wood and nails? 
I hate to lie, skip school and be another rascal;
Charlamane the Lion fits me better by all means:
Bill Baiter is quite funny, his jokes can crack a wall!

How silly is to assume that no great stature
is found in those with a highly sensitive nature;
hiding emotions and feelings and not burst out 
into hard laughter with friends is missing out a lot!
