Tug of War

I struggle,

Twisting and pulling ...

I don't want to go there.

I am exhausted and in pain - it is futile.

I can't keep resisting the inevitability of

Years and years and years and years.

But what if ...

The rope slackens, loosens or even snaps?

Now, I can play with the time, the shapes, the possibilities ...

And what if ...

I let go?

Now that is even better!
