There Is Too Much Of Myself Poem by Shalom Freedman

THERE IS TOO MUCH OF MYSELF

There is too much of myself
Too much of me
I am everywhere
Words upon words upon words
Connecting and commenting
Reviewing and defending -

I would like a rest
I would like to hear myself forever be quiet
To never have to say or write anything else again

Small and quiet and lonesome and alone
Unheard unknown unread unlistened to
A little quiet secret on the edge of nowhere
Forever unheard.
