Too Much for This World

I talk too fast, I feel too loud I break the silence like a vow I love like lightning in a jar You said I burn, I say it’s art You said “you’re always so intense” Like I should be your past tense But I’m not here to fade or bend I’m not a phase, I don’t pretend I tried to fit your quiet mold But it bruised me blue and left me cold So if I’m too much for this world Let it spin without me I’ll write my name in sparks Where your rules can’t bind me I was born to break the frame Not to dim into your shame I’d rather be wild, than numb and curled Yeah, I’m too much, but not too wrong Just too much for this world I keep my heart outside my chest You said it’s loud, I call it blessed You crave control and easy peace But I’m a storm you can’t appease You loved me when I played it safe Then flinched the day I misbehaved But I won’t shrink to make you stay I’d rather rise and walk away I’m not your soft aesthetic phase I’m everything you’re scared to face So if I’m too much for this world Then let it sleep without me I’ll scream my truth in full Even if you doubt me I don’t belong to quiet nights I shine in color, not in white I’d rather break than fake and swirl Yeah, I’m too much, but I belong Just not here, in your world You wanted poetry, not chaos But my scars still rhyme I’m not pretty pain I’m the real kind… So if I’m too much for this world Then I’m glad I don’t fit in I’ll keep dancing in my damage Wearing every feeling like skin I’m not less for being whole I’m just a soul that won’t be rolled I’d rather scare you than be hurled Into silence, I’m too alive Too much For this world.
