Too much

We think too much
Hoping to find answers
We drink too much
Hoping to find peace
We smoke too much
Hoping to forget everything
We sleep too much
Hoping to escape routine
We cry too much
Hoping to feel better
We feel too much
Hoping to be numb
We judge too much
Hoping to feel better about ourselves
We label too much
Hoping to reassure ourselves of our present

We have forgotten how to face life
We fear touch,
Afraid of letting someone else see us,
We find ways to escape
Escape the fights,
Escape work,
Escape relationships,
Escape love

Ruin is a gift
Life begins after it,
The bruises, the burns, the pain
Is what makes us beautiful
Its what makes us human.
