Shielded


I always know when I

Laugh too much

Smile too much

Eat too much

Talk too much

See too much

Sleep too much

Dream too much

I have different feelings

For certain actions

Certain reactions

To different feelings

Voluntarily avoidable

Supposedly controllable

There are two more

They are higher my standard

I always

Love too much

Live too much

The first I find no fault

The second I beg to differ

The former sees equality

The latter sees society

A heart two sizes too big

For the use of a shield
