It is I




Maybe it is I
who cares too much
who loves too deeply
who knows no boundaries
who is too passionate
who can not hold her tongue
who gives too freely
who holds back too much
who speed rails through life
who is careless with her heart
who seeks love time and again
who pushes it away
who finds it in the crease of each smile
who forgives too often
who can save herself
who already has
maybe it is I

    Two sides of the same coin.

  2. I suggest you to hear Papa roach's "Scars".
    It goes like this....
    I tear my heart open and sew my self shut...my weakness is that I care too much...

  6. and if that is you, all it means is that you're a loving, trusting, compassionate, beautiful human being, and that's not something you should feel bad about in any way whatsoever!

  7. If it is you, I like it. Your complexity makes you interesting, and your struggles make you approachable. And you can never forgive too often!

  8. my own sort of rumination.....you've captured what i've been thinking too. I don't know if its a good thing or not, because i seem to offer this to others who can't reciprocate. My intensity dumbfounds both myself and the ones I want to reach out to the most. I guess it comes down to offering it up unconditionally with no expectations and let go of how they react? compassion and passion are beautiful entities, but hold much power and energy for many.... male and female.

    beautiful piece xx
