Too Much

Everything 
In its entirety 
Has been 

Too 

Much

But I bear it all
Because she bore it all
With grace 
With dignity 
With power

Entirely too much 
Nothing
Is happening
Everything 
Is moving 
Things 
Are changing 
And its just been 

Too

Much 

I doubt 
If I'm truly built for this
I doubt 
If I'll ever get through this 
But she did
And it didn't break her
So it won't break me

She walked the path
That had too much 
Happening too soon 
Made it smooth
For those coming behind her 
Taking notes from those who went before her

But still
Everything 
In it's entirety 
Has been

Too

Much 

And so I continue
To bear it all
To soothe her pain 
To ease her load 
As she did before 
And as they did for her 
Passing down resilience 
Sending forth determination 
Because they knew it'd be 

Too

Much 

Perhaps it's been 
Too much 
Too soon
But I will push through 
For those who come after me
Even for those who are with me

So no longer
Should anything
Be too much to bear 
I'm not alone
So the weight 
Will not break me
Instead, it will shape me
Shape us
Move us 
In tandem

Everything 
In it's entirety 
Has been

Too

Much 

But I am ready
We are ready
That change we wish
To see in the world 
Resides in me
Resides in us 
Flowing to the masses 
As we give them 
What the world gave us 

Entirely

Too

Much
