You Give Too Much


“You give too much,”

They tell her

She hears their words

She thinks

How can anyone give too much

Much too often people don’t

Give Enough

Too often people don’t

 

So if she has to give the most

To make up for others lack

It’s fine

Because

Giving too much

In her eyes

Will always be better than

Not giving enough

 

Inside her lies the universe

Thumping with its generosity

She has so much to give

She thinks

“Do others have this much?”

Too often people don’t

Give enough

Because they’re scared of having

 

Too much
