I will not argue
against myself anymore.
I will not deny
my power or my desire,
I will not take the side
of death, decline, fatigue.
I am alive,
and Life’s essence
is the one thing I must manifest
in the being of myself —
I must always move as Life moves —
growing, sheltering, blooming,
attracting, rejoicing, communing.
I separate myself
from the internal voices
that try to make me think
I desire inertia.
I am of Life,
and Life supports my being
what it is, what I am.
