Text overlapping Font Awesome Icon - html

Question

I'm very happy with my contact form, however the text in the message area overlaps the icon. I find this strange because it starts off on a perfect indent but as the person writes more it goes right into the icon. Can anyone help on how to fix this tiny issue. I have added a photo. My code is below:
