Trying

I will not try any more

Trying separates me from my soul

It makes my body super tense

And breathing hard

It leaves twists and deep scars inside of me

And leaves me all contorted

Being is where it’s at

Loving the quiet and depth and silence

Sinking in

Letting go

Releasing

And then swimming inside my creative imagination

Summoning up life

I never realized before how exhausted I had become

From all of this trying

And that it made frustrated crying

A daily event

Preventing me from being

Lovingly present

But never the less tears

That tore me apart

Deep inside

Helped me to realize the heavy cost

Of trying

I would be lying to say

That tears will stop

But these days I am committing myself

To live more

To create more

And to try

Less
