A curse?
a poem about feeling too much
All over, emotions live and dwell
sensations I feel in my bones
they take over all my cells
every single one, a single touch
sometimes it hurts
when you feel too much
my heart and brain always have fits
makes me come undone
there's no way to stop it
emotions can't be kept at bay
when you feel everything
and I'm too much, they say
too much empathy to be had
it's more than just feeling
a feeling of being sad
the notion of caring too little
and wishing I could
Instead, I'm too brittle
I crave your attention
so if you give me some
I'll devour your affection
so don't play games with me
I've already thought this through
feeling all of the things ...
is just what I do
