My Sensitivity

I am sensitive to crowded places,

I am sensitive to people’s energy,

I am sensitive to loud music,

I am sometimes sensitive to celebrations too,

If you talk to me one on one,

I may sound alright to you,

If you talk to me in a room of people,

I may act and sound like the weirdest woman,

Coming back from the crowd,

I will beat myself up for being weird there,

I wonder, what is wrong with me?

What if there is nothing wrong with me?

What if my sensitivity is valid?

What if my feelings are valid?

What if my pain is valid?

What is my grief is valid?

Because you know what, hell it is!!
