Compensations

An evocative poem about various aspects and attributes of life, by Elsy, in Different Truths.

Two-in-one,

bane and boon:

this hyper

sensitivity!

 

The bane is

when even

a word wounds,

a smile deceives

a silence kills!

 

The boon is

when a word ignites,

a silence inspires

a smile impels.

 

For the hypersensitive

words compensate fears,

verses recompense tears!
