Overflow
I am overflowing,
With words, with ideas, with life, with nourishment, with pride, with shame,
With every piece of myself I kept hidden,
Bottled,
Under a tightly sealed lid,
For so long.
I cannot get enough of this life.
I am hungry,
I am ravenous,
I cannot read fast enough,
Cannot think at the pace that my thoughts warrant,
Cannot create what is being demanded by my soul.
I want to run my fingertips deeply through my weaving,
And lose myself for days in the intensity that is myself.
For how long have I slept,
For how unknowing I have been.
I want this feast to last forever,
This thirst to be never quenched.
It seems I cannot be satiated,
My hunger only deepening,
A cavern begging to be filled.
How am I supposed to do anything at all,
With all this feeling?
