Too Much

Sometimes I think I write too much,
   with the words getting lost in rewrites
   repeating and reiterating
   those same emotional feelings within
but
   within me rises and storms that need
   to express what I feel,
   reveal what I see.
Strange to think of that long gap
   some eighteen to twenty years
   when nothing could be written
   when life drowned out the need with other struggles
but here I am again,
   with a renewed vigor and resurgence of 
   what has been hiding, pushed down within
   the inner depths of my mind and soul
may the words find their way
   and may they be worthy
   blessed and enjoyed
   by the writing and the read.

DM, that's funny I always ask myself before I write, "hmmm...what can I write about what I already haven't written about?" and you're words do find a way to show emotion and give purpose...well done dear friend :)-luloo
