Abandon Responsibility
"Lay it down", just tell me, the load so heavy and constant. "Set it aside", say it simply, "take the rest." Permission granted and hand extended, a sigh so deep and unexpected, I only want a moment, not help, to feel my best. Don't do it for me, I am capable. Don't shoulder my work, I want the burden. Don't deprive my life of purpose and all my drive. Don't diminish my effort, I enjoy the struggle. Don't mistake my fatigue for overwhelm. Working the list helps me to survive. Nothing to need, I have it all, energy and self reliance. A question of want, frustration builds and raises ire. Decisions stacking, days on wash and repeat, Maybe someone to hold me and care is my desire.
