Too Much Is Never Enough
She spent half her time convincing men to love her
and half her time convincing men she wasn’t worth loving
exhausted from being too much or too little
never content with who she was
always trying to explain the tornadoes in her mind
constantly apologizing
no man ever understanding why she cowered in fear
screaming inside for just one to know her
and not run away in frustration over who she had become
because of all the other men who came before him
always trying to beat them to the leaving
because they always left
she posts a “DO NOT ENTER” sign and draws the blinds
and collapses in on herself
because it’s easier to feel nothing than to feel everything like she always has
Wow….
Thank you.
