How to Surrender
Published in

I am incubating in my own skin
Learning how to lean in
To resistance
Taking my own reticence
As a hint to push beyond
My make-believe boundaries
To trust that teachable moments
Await me
Outside my comfort zone
Complacency has never been
The cure for me
Though an alluring temptress
It threatens to seduce me constantly
A constriction in my throat
A contraction in my gut
Surrendering is key
To see what lies outside
Of what I know
And it’s so futile
To only dip one toe
The water awaits
To be penetrated by
My entire being.
