How do you ungive up

this week's poem

This poem was inspired by a moment when I woke up and I wanted to quit everything. I’m not going to quit everything because I enjoy talking and writing too much to quit. I talked before I walked so I figured out my priorities pretty early in life. Onto the poem…

How do you ungive up when you’ve given up

How do you resuscitate your soul from believing it can’t do something to believing it can do something 

How do you keep going when you’ve convinced your insides that you cannot muster the courage the energy the life to keep going

Do you carry out the motions anyway

Do you put one foot in front of the other to remind your soul that you’ve walked before 

Do you wander around aimlessly to remind yourself it’s okay to just be and to exist 

When your insides have gone to sleep and refused to wake up
