Sensitive (Interlude)

Composed by：Stally

I'm a highly sensitive person

What's the first thing you

Think about when I tell you that

That I must be shy and introverted

Or perhaps very emotional

Or maybe even that you need

To walk on eggshells around me

The common assumption about highly sensitive people

Is that we are somehow weak

And fragile creatures who picked a

Losing ticket in the genetic lottery of life

In our society

Men are not supposed to be sensitive but

Aggressive and competitive

The next time you feel like telling someone

You're too sensitive

I would ask you to stop and pause

Fill that pause with understanding

You will see that the simple act of acceptance

Will uplift both of you

Who would we be without leonardo da vinci or

Without a mozart without anais nin or balzac

Or mother teresa or gandhi

Our world would certainly be a shade darker

We need to come together as a society

To rewrite the negative cultural narrative

About sensitivity

And turn it into a positive one
