I Feel Too Much

 I Feel Too Much 

 

I can be honest with myself; I know that my emotional pain is my own fault because I feel too much... 

I was born with a compassion that people and life have not been able to beat out of me... 

Instead, a constant pain is there to remind me that I care, and I love too much, and feelings are stronger with every word, every touch... 

Knowing that once someone no longer needs my love, no longer needs me to care, I will be left with another scar that no one else can see! 

 

What’s one more scar and a little more pain if I helped someone if only for a little while? 

Knowing I made someone feel loved and cared for when they needed it most is my reward for the pain... 

Because I feel too much, care too much, I also love too much and scars from that are the worst, but I wear them with pride, like they are part of my style... 

I’d rather wear these scars with pride than become cold and heartless, walking through life leaving nothing but a stain! 

 

I may feel too much and the pain I walk through life with because of it; may seem too heavy a price to bear... 

But to me, it’s a small price to pay if I help someone, if I can make them feel like they matter, that they are someone... 

It’s just who I am, who I have always been and who I will continue to be, because I was born to care... 

So, if you need someone to care and you cross my path, I will be that person, and I will wear the scar you leave behind with pride, the job of someone who feels too much; is never done!
