My soul is overcrowded

I feel nothing

It does nothing

I am not healing

I'm screaming

Silently

Do I have just one lane or many?  Being human gives me all the permission necessary to have a heart towards all of humanity in its many forms. Although, we have one heart, there are multiple chambers, valves, and vessels, taking in and bleeding out. As with everything in our lives. We take in everything in our surroundings through our senses and try our best to make sense of the information. Some things bring us negative reactions while others, positive.
