Sensitive
Sensitive. Now there's a word that can be used many ways.
We describe sensitive in both positive and negative ways.
When we're selfishly sensitive, that's hard to accept,
But those sensitive to other people's feelings are a rare concept.
Now, between these extremes is what truly decides just who
You are, and how well balanced in your response to what you do.
We would prefer moderation in every phase of life,
From the weather to our closest relationship. Life is rife
With extremes and usually these actions throw everything involved
Way off balance, causing problems that become difficult to solve.
So let's put "sensitive" in its current and real perspective
That will eliminate question marks. Our balance makes life more connective.
