Intensity

This is Betty Ruth Speir's first poem to appear at vox poetica.

Intensity

By Betty Ruth Speir

I am drowning in intensity

Letting down my bucket, far too deep for sunlight

At times drawing it up full of murky waters it has struck.

I love too hard, feel too much

And victimize myself

With my own emotions.

I am a slave to heartbeats, tears and laughter.
