Feel
You tell me that I am too sensitive. but I think that you are misunderstood, you are wrong.
You could never understand how long it has taken me to get to this point, to feel the feelings that are inside of me, to demand of myself that they be felt.
I am not too sensitive, I am just finally alive again.
I will not apologize for having hurt feelings, or being too excited. I have climbed mountains and walked across scorched fiery earth to get to this point,
And I will not let you take this from me, not even if you are hurting just as much as I.
I am allowed to feel, to finally let the cool walls around my lungs melt into my skin.
I am finally feeling things, and letting myself demand more, because I deserve to feel.
You say that I am too sensitive, and that I do not know how to take a joke.
But you cannot disguise your own pain for jokes, and then gawk at my own when you realize you are making me feel that same pain. It is not fair.
I am deserving of love, first no harm done. Even from someone in so much pain.
I will not apologize for being more evolved than you, more whole.
Not anymore, at least.
