Thank you for this, it is perfect.  I've just recently discovered that thing called being highly sensitive (and I am 52!) and for the first time ever, I feel like I am not defective, just different.  This song embodies that.

'Cause all the things need witnessing' - I love this line, are you referring to noticing and processing everything, always giving your brain work to do? It's exhausting. Thank you for this, and for the honesty and understanding.

DJ! I've never commented on anything. Not YouTube, not here, never any site. Appreciate this beyond anything, at this very moment. Was redirected here from the article. This is an amazing use of your musical gifts! -- Recently 'found' HSP, London

Wonderful expression of what it's like living life as an HSP!

This is a terrific experession of what living as an HSP is like.

this somehow makes me cry everytime I listen to it. Thank you so much for this ! Discovered you through your article on Highly Sensitive Refuge .

I have always felt like I was too much for people. I have learned that my depth of feeling is my superpower. This one is for all of the highly sensitive people out there:

Haven’t lost all your marbles
You just see all the marvels
No one else sees

Charles
Rarer still than the narwhals 
Have more glitters and sparkles
Than you ever could need

Others may have shooter-louders
But you have got a superpower
Others may be fitter inners
But you my friend are sensitive to
Everything
Everything
Cause all the things
need witnessing
So keep on keeping
Validating
By seeing feeling
Understanding
The parts behind
The “doing fine”
The reasons why
We try and try
The tree that grows
The river knows
The heart that glows
The ebbs and flows
Of time
 
Charles
Your intensity startles
But you get all the garbles
That no one else might

Charles
Intuit by the armfuls 
Understanding the warbles
That our hearts cry at night

Others may have shooter-louders
But you have got a superpower
Others may be fitter inners
But you my friend are sensitive to
Everything
Everything
Cause all the things
need witnessing
So keep on keeping
Validating
By seeing feeling
Understanding
The parts behind
The “doing fine”
The reasons why
We try and try
The tree that grows
The river knows 
The heart that glows
The ebbs and flows
Of time

And just in case we needed
Someone just to be
You are, you feel, you hear, you smell, you taste, you sense, you see

Everything
Everything
Cause all the things
need witnessing
So keep on keeping
Validating
By seeing feeling
Understanding
The parts behind
The “doing fine”
The reasons why
We try and try
The tree that grows
The river knows
The heart that glows
The ebbs and flows
Of time

Polymath. Jack of all trades. Empath. I have a vast array of life experiences. Each one has given me something to say about relationships, spirituality, the environment, and the interconnectedness of all things.

Starting a nonprofit, adopting three kiddos, living all over the world, earning multiple degrees, falling in love, losing and gaining spiritual beliefs; it's all bubbling out of me now in the art I create.
