I feel too much.
     I want too much.
Sometimes everything is just too much.
     I think too much
          I need too much
Because...as humans, we take too much
       And often leave nothing behind.
Take no prisoners, that’s the deal.
Sometimes life becomes too much
     and takes too much…
     But if we soldier on another day
We will find something else
To give too much of ourselves to.
          Something to give us more life,
and one day we may find something (or someone)
     who will give as much back.
          And that will be the perfect day.
That is what keeps us searching.
          That is what keeps me searching,
and hoping, and giving.
