I Knew



My worried family
Would say I was too sensitive
Too frail a thing to live
I was the Princess and the Pea
The princess anyway

That lacking any common sense
To feel reality
The way I did was too intense

What would become of me?
They wondered if I were the way
That I would seem to be
But crazy understandably
Was what they could not say

They never knew quite what to do
About me but I knew
And grew up to write poetry

The sensitive ones are the ones who write the poetry and see the world with open eyes. Thank god for the poets.

It's a good outlet for your mental condition to write poetry, whether others read it or not.
