i'm home,
in the hold of the ones you seem to
just kinda
forget
because their love is never
forced
questioned
requested
and you don't have to
try.
because really,
trying is tiring.
trying should be saved for
what's beyond
control,
what you can't help but
have to suffer.
trying is what keeps you
awake
late at night,
unnatural,
necessary.
try
for what needs to be
fought.
try
for the messy stuff.
but when it comes to
matters of the heart--

--just be.
