I think I\'m too loud

I think I’m too loud, too much for this world, 
Like a flame in the dark, too bright, unfurled. 
My voice fills the silence, breaks through the still, 
But I wonder if anyone feels what I feel. 

I’ve tried to be softer, a quieter tone, 
But each time I do, I feel more alone. 
This fire inside me, it’s hard to contain, 
Yet being myself brings heartache and pain. 

Maybe I’m too much, a storm in disguise, 
Longing for acceptance in strangers\' eyes. 
I think I’m too loud, a misfit, unwise— 
And in this loudness, I silently cry.
