My whole iv always been called ‘too much’ Which is ironic because my entire life has never made me feel enough I talk enough, I socialise enough, I even annoy enough But I am never enough…. Do you understand? I'm an introvert's worst fear Yet hearing that could never fulfil my need for validation I talk loudly, therefore I am given a standing ovation But my loudness produces whispers of condemning nature I could say shakespeare art reformed But not to be taken to accord because of my ‘gift’ I'm silly, yes, but come on, guys lets shift a bit I mean, how am I too much? But again, never enough Then what is enough, may I ask? In this universe and the next im sure this is a question which has been begged to be answered Normal is not enough, yet above normal is too much, and therefore not enough as well In a real world filled with unrealistic expectations, it feels like the sky is not the only limit So why as a collective species define what is ‘too much’ Well i guess I am too much I feel too deeply, I talk too loud, and I laugh at max volume But is that a bad thing Well, either way I know one thing for certain That I am too much

Too Much
My whole iv always been called ‘too much’ Which is ironic because my entire life has never made me feel enough I talk enough, I socialise enough, I even annoy enough But I am never enough…. Do you understand?
