Image for the poem Too Intense

Too Intense

You're empathic
gentle & tender

sweet sensitive
compassionate

and creative yet
fragile vulnerable
eccentric cryptic

& complicated?

critics say you
are too intense

"difficult to love"

your lively being
can't be tamed &

you tried to change

adjust to society, its
crazy expectations

became voiceless
obedient & docile

let me tell you this
you my darling are
a magnificent orchid

precious and gorgeous
unique and deeply divine
