emotional hijacking
a gift of intellect
is like being given innumerable keys
that can often unlock ways of understanding,
doors into moving forward,
a gift of emotionality,
which I have received, increasingly so,
it is not so much keys
as revved-up reactions,
though even that has important revelations,
I describe myself as on edge,
already at the brink of chasms of feeling:
a moment of fear,
a moment of empathic leap,
and I am hijacked,
I am so tender to touch on the heart
that the slightest prick
and I bleed fearful tears.
