Too much to handle

 You 

With your irreprehensible logic and wisdom 

Your justice and correctnes 

May think I have failed 

In many things 

In almost everything 

You my think 

I've made some really bad decisions 

lived recklessly 

You 

Who were raised to be perfect 

Logical 

A problem solver 

May think I'm a mess, 

A sea of drama 

A clumsy clown 

Someone with too much baggage 

Too much to handle 

You 

Who were raised with high morals 

But had no freedom 

to think 

and feel 

and be 

You 

Who were made to act like a robot 

To not display emotions 

or empathy 

or affection 

May think I'm too emotional 

And all over the place 

Too much to handle 

Let me tell you something 

About who I am 

I have lived 

So many lives 

encapsulated so many feelings  

Too many to count 

I have experienced it all 

Sorrow 

Loss and grief 

Love and heartbreak 

Betrayal 

But also 

Immense love 

I have seen so many faces 

I've met so many souls 

I have lived all the lives 

I've been through hell  

and seen heaven  

A thousand times over

And I have survived 

And still smile 

And dance 

And give 

And forgive 

I'm still here 

I'm a fighter 

I take leaps of faith 

Sometime I fail 

Sometimes wonderful things happen 

You 

Who think you know everything 

You know very little 

Because you live in a bubble 

That you refuse to burst 

Because you're too afraid to live 

To struggle and find beauty in imperfection 

You 

Who think I am my mistakes and only my mistakes 

Take a good look at me 

I'm standing on my own two feet 

I don't have the privilege of living in a bubble 

Where everything is perfect and controlled 

I'm standing in my own two feet 

Are you?
