Some folks think I dance too fast.
Those are the ones that can't quite last.

Some people say I laugh too loud.
But JOY is fleeting--I am proud.

There's some that say I hug too hard.
It is not so--I have hugged shards.

I hear them say, "she's overboard."
How else did the white dove soar?

Some folks think I am "too much."
Maybe? I'm more than "enough"--
for those who want a measured life.
No one's wrong. We are, ALL RIGHT.

Too much of you means too much of me
Mirrored reflection of twin identity.
Too much of you? Thats oxy negativity ...
who could ever have too much serenity

Amen to this one, Karen.....
You deserve all the joy you can possibly grab for yourself...
and yes, you should be proud of it...

I loved the poem

Karen dear,
Who are these people that are so clueless? I like you just the way you are!

Show you care to those you love...today.

I envy your spirit..your outlook on life and your belief in yourself. Sometimes I feel like I'm standing alone on the edge of the crowd watching you dance...smiling sadly and wishing I could be more like you.....

Awesome! Let's hear it for being a strong individual. I swear, one day the world will understand that everyone needs room to be themselves but also needs to be part of everyone else. I'm just guessing I'll be looooong since buried by then.
