In a world of not enough
The girl learned slowly
She was too much!
Her first lesson came at fifteen
Her best friend gave her the look
Too much shared too much seen
Then her first love
Told her she lived life like a book
She wondered if life was ever enough?
Painfully aware that somehow she was all wrong
She stayed in bed for years
Stopped singing that freaky out of tune song
She stepped in line
She walked to the drum
Almost kept to time
Of the world's empty hum
Of course from time to time she was compelled
To break the poisonous loneliness spell
She tried softly, but her impatient lips just yelled!
Sometimes other trapped souls would peer
They thought they recognised the noise
But she was too much, her image was unclear
They walked on kindly as she tried to keep up
But then she saw that look on their face
And knew she had been too much!
Too needy
Too intense
Too weirdy
No pretense
All those others could adjust themself
And maybe therein the problem lay
For she could only be herself
In a world of not enough
The girl learned slowly
She was too much!
