Over-Reacting
is an indication
that i want to change my behavior
around people who can take only so much,
so that i don't cause them too much discomfort.
But just because i've frightened them
or overwhelmed them doesn't mean
that it's wrong for me to be that way,
just inappropriate to share it
with them any longer.
So i get away from them.
I am different from others in this regard.
My extremes have never caused anyone harm,
nor threatened to harm anyone.
I get loud and crazy verbally, but
i never get loud or crazy physically.
As it approaches that point of intensity
i get away from people,
knowing that no one can follow me anyway.
I withdraw into the only company
i know can appreciate it,
me, alone.
