Sensitive sonnet

Every glance and gesture, every sound,
My heart cries out because I care.
The world is a place that's too loud,
I feel the pain beyond compare.

Life is hard when you're so aware.
It's hard to find the silver lining,
When every comment feels unfair,
And every emotion feels like it's grinding.

I'm always waiting for the next offense.
I feel every slight and every jest.
My friends tell me it is nonsense,
But my feelings won't ever rest.

I shine so bright, and I still care.
For I'm a sensitive person, not that rare
