Gift/Curse

So tonight I realized something else about myself
I have a gift/curse, as we all do.
Mine?
Well, wouldn't you like to know?
Sure.
I could just straight up tell you
But I'm not sure if that's the vest idea.
Let's see if I can at least give you an idea:

I have passion burning inside of me
There are times when it just is bursting from the seams
And other times when it's just a dull flame
Either way, it's there; waiting.
Yearning
Churning
And always burning

There are times when something comes along,
And I simply cannot contain myself,
Then the passion takes over
All logical reason and thought are removed
And the emotions surging through my blood
Are simply overwhelming

Even tiny things or incidents can cause that initial spark
Then once the fuse is lit
(As some will tell)
Is very difficult to extinguish
I really wish there was a way to do this right

Here's the answer if you haven't guess yet:
I care too much
I realize that sounds a bit off (*cough* emo *cough*)
But it's the truth.

When something comes along
And I honestly really care about it,
Then I care too much about it
Until I could not care at all
Do or die.

Whether it be a person, or their actions
Or the way they live
I'll care about it.

I see potential in people,
And the sad part is,
I see potential in people.
Don't get it?
That's OK.
Most people won't.

Potential is amazing and terrible at the same time.
If someone has potential, then that means they
Have not tapped into living life all the way
Or whatever it is that they're doing
When you've reached your potential
Then you're ready to move on
Next project
Or whatever is you're working on

There is so much more than just "getting by."
I'm better than that.


There are times when I wish I didn't care so much about
"whatever"
It kills me sometimes, and I wish it would go away


I've been learning to cope with my emotions

And myself for that matter...
But it gets difficult
Maybe one day,
I'll truly understand myself
And understand why I'm here


Maybe one day...
I'll finally understand what
Truth

really is...
