Poetry | Too much
October 1, 2020
They say I’m too much.
Too much to love
Handles too hard,
Too much body
Roll eyes shut
Tear ducts closed
Low and behold,
Too much to expose,
Too much to care
In the world,
Too much to live
Another day fighting my own,
Too much to give
Of myself
With nothing in return,
Too much to know
To know it all
And to not learn,
Too much too loud
To speak it out,
To turn away,
Too much too fast
To live this life
To the next day.
