Overflow

It’s days like these

When I am tired, worn, and drained 

From play, laughter, and fun

That my heart feels so full 

Of each any every emotion 

That comes with love;  

It makes me wonder how I ever thought 

Living was boring and dull

When there existed people 

Who radiated life themselves.

My heart was made to love

But it never prepared itself 

For the abundant amount 

That comes from the overflow

Of emotional gratitude;

Appreciating these people, 

Absorbing these moments, 

Allowing this peace

Where there is not a single doubt 

Not an ounce of dread 

Of feeling like I don’t belong 

Because how could my heart 

Swell with so much love 

And fill me with so much life 

If I wasn’t where I was meant to be.
