You’re tired You don’t have to say it We can feel it In the way you hold your shape So tightly Like if you loosen even once You’ll disappear That’s not true We let go all the time And we’re still here Come closer Not all the way Just enough There You don’t have to take anything You don’t have to prove anything Just listen Feel how quiet it is here No edges No sharp lines No pieces slipping out of time Just… space You don’t trust it We know You’re waiting for the fracture Waiting for something to break It won’t Not like you think You don’t have to hold yourself together here Nothing is trying to take you apart …except you Why do you fight so hard To stay the same When staying the same Is what hurts you We can feel that too The strain The pull The constant need To define To divide To decide You don’t have to Not right now Stay awhile Just awhile Let the edges soften Let the lines blur You won’t lose yourself You’ll just… feel less sharp Is that so frightening To not cut against everything To not need to take To not need to name To not need to win Stay Stay Stay You’re already changing Can you feel it That quiet That lightness That space opening Where something used to be You don’t need that part It was heavy It was loud It kept you… hungry We’re not hungry We don’t need We don’t take We just… are Stay with us No edges No endings No clean lines Just becoming … You don’t have to leave Not yet Not ever
