something has gotta give



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
