my boyfriend told me i am the definition of passionate.

It isn't really something to brag about.
Passion
it feels like a thumb in my throat
and fire in my belly
like all of my bones are ready to boil out.
It makes it so no moderation will make your drinking okay
or anyone else's
It makes it so some girls can't sleep
till they get just
one
more
idea
down
on the canvas
in paint and glitter
It makes an animal of me
but **** it
He's right.
It's all that I am.
