Rope

Your palms have deep wounds

wounds that are dripping blood

you have been tugging a rope

for too long..

You wish to stop

you wish to let it all go

you fear the rope will drift away from your approach

yet what actually scares you is deep within your bones..

Shall you pull with more force

or are you simply overdoing the effort

thoughts keep entangling you

yet you pacify yourself with hope..

And then suddenly you let it go

you let go of the rope

your suddenly is hurting a little less

your forehead is suddenly sweating a little less..

Your body thanks you for for being considerate

your mind is grateful to you for taking rest

your feet are relaxed

your muscles are at ease..

The rope is your anxiety

your palms are your fears

you need to let it go

you really do.
