Too Much For You

I’m done trying to change the minds Of those who refuse to see, Pouring out my heart like water Into cups that aren’t meant for me. I’ve explained myself a thousand times, Shaped my words to fit their ears, But they’ve built walls around their hearts, And my voice just disappears. I thought I owed them understanding, That if I shared just one more piece, They’d see the person I truly am, Their doubts seemed to increase. I used to reshape, try to make them see, They’ve built up their walls, They won’t bend for me. Now, I’m learning to walk away, From battles that aren’t mine to fight. I’m tired, but I can finally see the light. I’ll spend my time with those who listen, Who see the cracks, yet let me glisten. And I’ll let go of those who never tried— They’ve taught me where my peace resides. No more shrinking to fit their boxes, No more forcing you to see. If I am too much for you, Then we just weren’t meant to be.
