Woe for those trapped

Giving their life away to have their energy sapped

By Road Trip with Raj on Unsplash

And drained

As they seek and return to the land of comfort

Pained from the uncomfortable

Harness of the World

By Nong V on Unsplash

Yet to unfurl

Their true inner being for full Potential

They must encounter the consequential

Outcomes from their execution and inaction.

Doing nothing can not just be a partial, but a whole infraction.

By Jack Charles on Unsplash

In doing nothing we still remain committed.

Committed to not doing anything, in nothing one remains in a perpetual state of rest.

By Tom Barrett on Unsplash

Rest, relax, sleep; all are needed.

To gather energy as we are not the unliving enzyme to which we must submit.

By Jp Valery on Unsplash

The Living Catalyst, for we, you, and I are capable of making great things to occur in less time and energy as we expend our own.

To bring things together together we achieve.

When we are brought together we strive in strides as we persist to survive.

By National Cancer Institute on Unsplash

In not things, but people, we stir them to action by own decisive inaction at times.

If we are to take action for them at all times, when will they ever themselves.

To ask for help is one thing. To leave your burden with others is another.

Let us not fall into the pit of birthing false promises.

By Zach Vessels on Unsplash

To be indebt. To be indebted to.

To pay forward. To be paid back.

To extend an olive branch. To give back olives from the tree that has grown.

To reap the rewards from the seeds that we've sown.

By Lucio Patone on Unsplash

The harvest of the fruits of our labor.

Our efforts combined. Our action. Our stirring to action.

By Brad West on Unsplash

In leaving others, but not leaving them alone

We can provide support, but their independent muscles must grow.

In helping others we must learn to let our love not suppress them.

In doing so, they believe that they'll need our constant help. Putting them under constant compression.

In truth, it is not abandonment, but for them, a discovery of self-expression.

Learning that they are capable of doing so much more on their own, and so they can feel like they are contributing, that is this confession.

By qinghill on Unsplash

In wanting to contribute

Learning of the responsibilities to distribute

So that no member of a team will have to further dispute

About who's lacking in effort, and who should get the boot.

By krakenimages on Unsplash

As with the beginning, we must also worry about ourselves in the end.

The bottling of our emotions and the hiding of our intentions should not be what we intend.

To mature means that we were worse before this. Let's not pretend.

Yet, we should practice in prioritizing our time, energy, and attention. As those are valuable resources that nobody is entitled to, which we must defend.
