I was asked to surrender today
My mind took up arms and was ready to fight
Surrender? Everything for nothing?
Keep control, keep going
No.
Stop.
Breathe.
I was asked to surrender today
Not to give up, not to walk away
But to notice all my places of fear
And simply surrender to them
Struggle.
Anger and panic.
Fighting for control.
I was asked to surrender today.
Notice the places where I am holding pockets of negative energy
To stop and raise the white flag
Let the river carry me, to let go of the cage that I have put myself in
Tears.
Silent and slow leaked from my eyes.
My eyelashes trying to hold them back.
I was asked to surrender today
What a beautiful idea that is
To hold yourself and embrace your journey
To let yourself walk beside you rather than blocking your path
Surprise
Release and clarity.
Calm.
I was asked to surrender today
That line circling my head
Chasing the control out, making way for the joy
Making way for the chaos
Beginning my journey
