Too Much Girl

Poem

By Rachel LightfootPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Art by Sailor Broo for Too Much Girl

Too much to handle. Too much to contain. Too much of a much-ness. Too selfish and too vain.

Too emotionally volatile. Too needy and too sick. Too many dreams for one person. Your 'too much' is too big.

Too much of a woman. Too much of a girl. Too far from reality. Too extensive to furl.

"Be small" they insist, but listen to me 'Too Much Girl', Listen to this! The things they don't tell you, I'll deliver with a kiss

Upon your forehead as you cling to the bed, with tears on your pillow and fog in your head:

Keep your eyes gazing skyward, lift your feet from the ground. To reach dizzying heights, you must place your head in the clouds.

Keep climbing your Everest, let your passion soar, no mountains were conquered with feet on the floor.

Pay no heed to their judgements, or the life they want you to live and go follow your dreams, remaining forever big.

Leave behind the monotony, the drawl of the every day, because you know that ordinary is simply not your way. Embrace your 'too much-ness', be 'too much', much more and when they question your bigness

show them the door.
