(Spoken Word)
I am told
privately
all my life appears to be
“one multi-dysfunctional shipwreck”
by friends
lovers
and
precious family
AND
that my poetry/prose needs punctuation
AND
that I care far too much about others
AND
that my art is
disturbing to one’s heart
(yes, I am/was banned from a prominent social media site
for my above art in 2013
AND
I have chosen not to return)
AND
that I am “…scraping and servile”
AND
that I have been married too many times (only four)
AND
that I still have too much enthusiasm
for romantic encounters (think “tactile hunger”)
AND
that I need to calm down
AND
that I need to be stronger
AND
I might wish not to be so dramatic.
These are
some of the things said to
HSPs,
or “highly sensitive people”
of which
multiple therapists label me.
Okay.
