all that I hold
within my heart
knowing someday
it will reach capacity
and burst.
I tell myself I feel for those who can't,
though I know even if
all felt with the magnitude of me
I would still overdose on
the chemical reactions in my brain
because feeling makes
all the colors just a little brighter
and all the sounds just a little sweeter
so if burst I must to live
with this vibrance,
burst I shall.
