“The Too Much of Being Her”
He wants to shove her inside his box.
Break off parts of her that don’t fit.
Leave her broken and bleeding
And ready once and for all to quit.
Are those parts of her so unlovable?
Does he see them as too extreme?
They make her feel alive and whole,
and they give her the courage to dream.
They bring laughter to her face
and a smile to her heart.
They make her feel like herself,
Not like an actor playing a part.
