something has gotta give
there is too much
on my plate
on my mind
in my heart
something has gotta give
and it can't be
my hopes
and dreams
it can't be my love
for my family
and our connection
It can't be
this wild, intimate
pull to live fully
so I gotta give
the fear
and worry
that shows on my face
in every cell of my body
I don't want to invest
all my time
and energy
on you anymore
decades of devotion
is enough
