It's OK To Be Sensitive

Hey there,

People will tell you it’s not OK

To be sensitive

But, it is.

“Stop being so sensitive...”

They’ll tell you

To be like them.

To be so cool that you’re frozen

Numb

To the rocks and insults

Hurled at you.

Cold, hard and dead to the

Metal in your back. Full of

Cold, hard and dead

Mettle in your heart. Full of

Cold, hard and dead

Medals on your neck.

Roll around lifeless

As a stone.

Stroll around like the

Cock of the walk.

Feelings are for wimps and

Wimps are wimpy

(Don’t you know?)

But they forget to tell you

There’s no anaesthetic for only pain

When feeling goes away

It goes altogether—

You won’t feel the stab

But you won't feel the kisses either.

You’ll still bleed

But won't remember

How to cry about it.

It’s OK to be a mountain

Of a human

(Huge, magnificent and impossible to move)

If you’re actually made of stone.

But I’m not.

Are you?
