101 poems for highly sensitive persons: Struggle and Acceptance
()
About this ebook
Most of the poems in this book were written before I knew the concept of high sensitivity. They are about searching, about not fitting in, about being different, but also about having an enormously strong drive to create, to be creative, and that it can be a way to exist.
Many of the poems are dark, some really dark, but I believe that there are other highly sensitive persons who have felt and thought similarly. Maybe my poems can be helpful by showing that you are not alone in this. That the darkness can exist with acceptance instead of being fought and that it is possible to find light even where and when it is darkest. We cannot ignore the darkness; we cannot pretend that it does not exist. It exists. It is part of us and therefore has the right to exist. Expressing the darkness through writing and reading or other creativity can be a way to get it out and thus give it an opportunity to sink away and release its grip on you. You may even be able to direct that energy into something constructive instead of destructive.
The poems can convey that this is our reality and it's ok. It may still be hard and difficult but you are not wrong as a human being. You are ok as a human being and this is part of what we go through as highly sensitive persons.
HSP - Highly sensitive people have a nervous system that is more sensitive than the average person. They notice many subtle details in their environment and process them deep within themselves. High sensitivity is an innate personality trait found in 15-20% of the global population.

101 poems for highly sensitive persons - Eric Rosenqvist
1
There seem to be no openings
Out
Despite the inflow
No outflow
Despite incoming
No outgoing
Levels are being raised
Increasing pressure
For those of us who are there
Who want to escape
Who want to create something
Something that can get out
Something that can grow and flourish
But it continues to rise
With us in
But we keep looking
After an opening, a crack, a joint
It is the only thing we can do
Until we disappear
2
Cut thin strips
to see
the blood
the creation that is being destroyed
because it feels right
to do wrong
the words that hurt more than the blows
the fear that confuses itself
because there are threats from all sides
from outside
from
