Too Much
February 17, 2016
I have always been afraid of being too much, of leaving too strong a mark. all my life I have tiptoed soundlessly across linoleum tiles and stood at the edge of the crowd talking at barely above a whisper. I have written poems filled with secret thoughts, the tip of the pencil hovering above the paper, then taken an eraser to it all. I have dug a six foot hole and buried my thoughts and emotions before trying to put myself down there with them. I have lived my life afraid of being something and feeling nothing.
