Unravelled

Amidst this world, a question stirs,
Why heightened sensitivity, emotions that blurs?
Is it the digital age's rapid flow,
Or social media's winds that blow?

Information's torrent, a flood so vast,
Diverse perspectives, beliefs amassed,
Does this overload sow seeds of doubt,
Creating sensitivities, fears about?

Awareness blooms, advocacy springs,
Injustice and inequality, society sings,
Do these causes kindle hearts aflame,
Igniting sensitivity's fervent flame?

Cultural shifts, generations' sway,
Values evolve, guiding the way,
Could this change shape perceptions bright,
Heightening sensitivity's guiding light?

In a stressful world, anxiety's shroud,
Emotions run wild, speaking aloud,
Does this turmoil make us more inclined,
Towards sensitivity, hearts entwined?

Confirmation bias, echo chambers bound,
Like-minded circles, beliefs surround,
Do these chambers reinforce our view,
Magnifying sensitivity in all we do?

Language's power, words' caress,
Historical echoes, they possess,
Could past wounds make us quick to feel,
The touch of sensitivity's keenest zeal?

Amidst these questions, reflections rise,
A chance for empathy, to empathize,
Let's seek answers, hearts open wide,
And find compassion side by side.
