I often get my feelings hurt,
of this there's no denying.
Things said without intent,
still somehow leave me crying.
But still it seems I bring about-
attacks born in misunderstanding.
Remarks that I could live without,
coldness I'm not equipped at handling.
So now I'll call myself ''Kicked Heart'',
spend all my time on retractions.
Misunderstood from the start,
and confused by their word actions.
If unwarranted I'll go on a warpath,
writing biting words to fend off attack.
A bit too sensitive to sensitivity they lack.
Words seem to reverse and come flying back.

Empathy
Perhaps a lost emotion . And if Christ had none would we perhaps not weep and be like the rabbit that just does.

OUCH!!!!I kind of felt this as I was reading it. I do have to agree with a few of the comments that it is so easy for us to be hurt by words and actions without realising that by taking for the Bible such things , we are even"kicking" ourselves all over again . Your write surely came from how present circumstances are , however should I ever run a contest such as this again , I sure would like to see you having risen and
kicked arse" as was mentionned above
Thank you for entering and best wishes in the contest,

i can so relate ! .... the name makes me squirm though .... perhaps in the right mood you could blame your accent and say your name is 'kick arse' .... i just feel 'kicked heart' is a bit like a sign on your forehead saying kick me .... and emotional sponges dont need any more invites to be kicked, do they ? .... (oh NOW i see the comment before mine .... relativity rules) >>> EM

Oh yes! I see why we relate so well, both know that experience too well But of course we can't retaliate in kind, as it only boomerangs and exacerbates ill feeling.
Very well done, Suseann. I think I'd prefer a more 'kick ass' name though, that would sound more triumphant and positive than victim-like.

Oh my dear...Kicked Heart indeed. You know that I love you dearly. This is just too cute! I understand being too sensitive as I am myself too sensitive sometimes. You did so well on this lady!! Good luck in the contest.
