working out

when forcing the pen
like an exercise
sometimes it becomes exhausting
thinking seeing them all appear
knowing weakness and holding
it close instead of powering through it
others have methods too
and with some success
none of them hold this pen
and this thought and the big secret
that it might not really matter
except for the motions of the circles
keeping it dizzy and maybe it’s me
and my dizzy way to dance through
the day and probably won’t
make a difference except to those
barely reaching with thoughts
words on the page wish it would
tell a story take eyes to a different
place instead stuck in the mind
intrigued by all the stories
accepted as reality of the day
opposing nothing and everything
without a doubt at the same time
confused and probably always have been
wonder though about happiness
and freedom and not being worried about
something relaxation and not feeling like
battling the mind anymore…

my kind of working out is now letting go...the exhaustion and anxiety comes from the fight...like swimming against the tide instead of floating with it.
