A few years ago, I came into contact with the concept high sensitivity and HSP (high sensitive person). I read books, websites, stories from other highly sensitive persons and did tests. It was very clear to me that I was a highly sensitive person. It didn't change my reality, but it gave me explanations for why I always felt different, why I didn't seem to be able to function like others. 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.

A few years ago, I came into contact with the concept high sensitivity and HSP (high sensitive person). I read books, websites, stories from other highly sensitive persons and did tests. It was very clear to me that I was highly sensitive. It didn't change my reality, but it gave me explanations for why I always felt different, why I didn't seem to be able to function like others. I'm not going to explain what HSP is or how it works, there are already a number of very good books for that and some I would like to mention are "The Highly Sensitive Person", by Elaine N. Aron and "The Highly Sensitive Man" by Tom Falkenstein.
I have come to terms with the fact that I am a seeker and I now understand that it is part of the highly sensitive personality trait. With this knowledge I want to reach out to other highly sensitive persons who are also searching for their place, their context, their well-being and their life. I've always written. It's a way of being for me. Now I write more than ever. When I've looked back at the poems I've written over the years, I see that many of them 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.
