You Were Never Too Much

They told you to tone it down.
Lower your voice. Hide your hunger. Shrink your dreams.

They said you were too emotional,
too dramatic,
too loud,
too intense.

But what if you were just too real for a world that survives on pretense?

You were not too much.
They were just not ready.

You are not a fire that must learn to flicker.
You are the sun — and the world will learn to wear sunscreen.
