Too Much

Sometimes my thoughts are too much to bear
Sometimes my feelings too hard to share
Then I remember the lonely street kids at Christams
And Simon, the resident glue sniffed chasm
And all the sad, sad souls
And the unwanted children
And that in 100 years the snow capped
mountains of Kilamanjaro will be melted
And that 1 in 7 people are malnourished
And that HIV is an epidemic
And that so many think money is king
And that I can be so fucking selfish
And I don't understand why
And that love can really hurt sometimes
And I could go on but I won't
Sometimes my thoughts are too much to bear
Sometimes my feelings too much to share
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    You're doing a wonderful job of sharing your feelings here :)

    "And that love can really hurt sometimes"

    How true. Especially when you're dangling from the monkey bars.

    Loved this one, BE.

    The way it wrapped up where it started... that was just wonderful. The exact same lines meaning two very different things.

    Really. I find this one exceptional!

    Now I'm super blushing all over! You should see me I look like a sun-burned red-head only I haven't been out lying in the sun for months! :D
