Energy Allocation
Where are Your Efforts Diverted To?
Woe for those trapped
Giving their life away to have their energy sapped
And drained
As they seek and return to the land of comfort
Pained from the uncomfortable
Harness of the World
Yet to unfurl
Their true inner being for full Potential
They must encounter the consequential
Outcomes from their execution and inaction.
Doing nothing can not just be a partial, but a whole infraction.
In doing nothing we still remain committed.
Committed to not doing anything, in nothing one remains in a perpetual state of rest.
Rest, relax, sleep; all are needed.
To gather energy as we are not the unliving enzyme to which we must submit.
The Living Catalyst, for we, you, and I are capable of making great things to occur in less time and energy as we expend our own.
To bring things together together we achieve.
When we are brought together we strive in strides as we persist to survive.
In not things, but people, we stir them to action by own decisive inaction at times.
If we are to take action for them at all times, when will they ever themselves.
To ask for help is one thing. To leave your burden with others is another.
Let us not fall into the pit of birthing false promises.
To be indebt. To be indebted to.
To pay forward. To be paid back.
To extend an olive branch. To give back olives from the tree that has grown.
To reap the rewards from the seeds that we've sown.
The harvest of the fruits of our labor.
Our efforts combined. Our action. Our stirring to action.
In leaving others, but not leaving them alone
We can provide support, but their independent muscles must grow.
In helping others we must learn to let our love not suppress them.
In doing so, they believe that they'll need our constant help. Putting them under constant compression.
In truth, it is not abandonment, but for them, a discovery of self-expression.
Learning that they are capable of doing so much more on their own, and so they can feel like they are contributing, that is this confession.
In wanting to contribute
Learning of the responsibilities to distribute
So that no member of a team will have to further dispute
About who's lacking in effort, and who should get the boot.
As with the beginning, we must also worry about ourselves in the end.
The bottling of our emotions and the hiding of our intentions should not be what we intend.
To mature means that we were worse before this. Let's not pretend.
Yet, we should practice in prioritizing our time, energy, and attention. As those are valuable resources that nobody is entitled to, which we must defend.
