Soft Power

Staying Without Strategy

I woke up tender
not tired
not broken
just soft

like something inside had finally unclenched
and didn’t want to tighten again

so I moved slow
breathed softer
let my body decide when the day would begin

there is a kind of power that asks for nothing
it does not push
it does not impress
it just stays

today I am staying with myself
not proving
not performing
just here
