I've Been Too Much

By Julie Beck Morrow
“I’ve Been Too Much”

(Julie Morrow)

Some candles burn too bright,
too fast—consume their wicks.
I have borne the brunt
of far too many sticks.
Wet kindlin’ that cracks;
damp wood that will not lick—
rebuffing all the warmth
I generate and try to give.

(Chorus)
I’ve been too much.
I’ve been not enough.
I’ve been boiled down and spread around,
found lacking, run amok.
I’ve been too much.
I’ve been not enough.

When verdant grass consumes
the barren fields with green,
the winter has been groomed
to birth the magic of the spring.
A hostile climate drills.
It will not bear the seeds
my berth is not their swill;
I am here to sire reeds.

(Bridge)
I don’t wanna be too much,
burn too bright, or crush the wick.
I wanna be the light
that makes you shine
that makes you warm—
invites you in.

(Repeat Chorus)
