Too much to be quiet

“You talk so loud” have you ever wondered if all this volume came from everytime someone asked me to speak up
“You talk so fast” have you ever wondered if all this speed came from everyone who wouldn’t listen to a drawn-out sentence
“You laugh at everything” have you ever wondered if the laugh was the only thing that kept the tears away somedays
“You’re too emotional” have you ever wondered if every tear shed now is for a time I couldn’t cry in the past
 
But don’t be mistaken those are just thoughts
 
“You talk so loud” yes I do I’ve had to talk over people my whole life so move up if if me expressing myself bothers you
“You talk so fast” yes I do I’m a small person with a million things to say not enough time, words or breathe to say them
“You laugh at everything” yes I do I know what it takes to break someone so let me enjoy my happiness while I have it
“You’re too emotional” yes I am I wear my heart on my sleeve and that’s a badge of honor to me
 
So yes I talk too much and laugh too loud but these lips, tongue and 29 teeth hold too much emotion for me to be quiet
