Flaw #6 Out of 25
A flaw is usually something someone else pointed out
Pointed it out as nothing but negativity
Something you should hide or change or even be ashamed
But every flaw I was blessed with I have used to my advantage
I advise my fellow Queens to do the same
Let's talk about flaw 6 out of 25, Sensitivity
They tell me I'm too sensitive
Too quick to defend myself when someone asks me a question
No one wants to debate a topic because they're afraid they'll push the wrong buttons,
Afraid I'll hop on tip.
Don't be afraid
I am not on tip
Just simply on the edge of my seat ready to snap.
But not out of anger
But with passion
I am sensitive because I am passionate
Passionate about the things I believe, speak, or love.
I am sensitive because I know what it's like to be a shadow in my past
And I refuse to go back.
It is because of my sensitivity I know what it means
To have empathy for the next broken soul
Truth be told
I have to fight the tears from falling
When someone raises their voice at me
But I am not ashamed
My sensitivity has created the fighter in me
But the lover in me is fueled by sensitive touch
When it comes to someone else's feelings or love
I speak with enough passion
To make even the most wounded hearted people
Believe there's love in another day to come
So you're damn right I woke up like this
Better yet I was born like this
I love my flaw of Sensitivity
And no one nitpicking me will ever change that
Because I once read a quote that said
"Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you have a big heart! And you are not afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is strength!"
