Fulfillment

Too much passion
And too many passions,
This is what my tired body says
To my mind,
But what do I do, there’s no doubt -
I know I burn myself out,
Though in the process I shine,
Hoping, maybe someone will see

Time,
And time again
Reminds me there’s no competing
With death,  
Maybe,
My beating heart would stop,
When I find love and love finds me

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
