“It’s too much. Again. Again, you go too far!”
I hear it loud and clear.
“You are too much!”
I am too much,
But — too much for what? Too much for who?

I need to write
I need to breathe deeply
I need to inhale your calm peace
So I can exhale all this fear in exchange

It was you I was thinking of the other day
when I suddenly thought to myself:
“They make me feel so…. Normal.”

I’ll meet you there someday
At the crossroads under a full moon
We’ll take a moment to pause
Barely breathing in our excitement
Remembering days long gone
That once seemed so banal
But somehow feel precious now in the dark

Stepping beyond the familiar woods
From where I stand on the rocky cliffside
I can see him, there, out in the dark water…
For you who holds my hands in one of your own

It steals laughs
It seals cries
It steals connections
Possibilities, futures
Faces from hands
Hands from backs

(We’re too solid for that, after all)
There’s just insidious malcontent
Morphing into anger first
And then, sometimes, madness
Turned inwards, burning from the inside out
