I thought too was my nickname
Everyone said I was
too talkative
too silent
too short
too slow
too fast
too fidgety
too eager
too distracted
too focused
too independent
too outside the lines
too loud
too shy
too friendly
too physically awkward
too smart (for my own good)
too dumb
too socially backward
too weird
too different
too talented
too poor
too lazy
too political
too caring
too naive
too disorganized
too emotional
too introverted
too much
too little
too honest
too outspoken
too curious
too outrageous
too boring
too myself
too not like others
It took me years to realize
too was not my nickname
it was an excuse to be mean
because I was
too kind
too accepting
too nice
too gentle
too afraid
too non-violent
to fight back
until I did
