oversensitive


spent my whole life 

in holes of emotion

trying (failing) to unlearn fragility

until i fell into petals of blooming words (poetry)

until i learned delicacy / shattering 

the way words scar me

just means my body has tattoos telling me the truth 

this big heart

is what keeps me whole
