THE TRACKLESS PATH

From Underneath

I am so tired of trying to be enough.
So Sad.
Why won't you leave me be?
Don't you see I'm miserable
Trying to pretend 
That I am enough 
To stand eye to eye
With you?
Why will you demand of me 
Another rise.
Isn't it enough that you are strong
And I am weak?
Please just let me return
To my mother's arms.
Let me go home.
Let me be where
What I am is enough,
Where I do not need to fight
For dominance.
Why don't you just fight on without me?
Fight when I am gone.
Wait till I've disappeared,
Then fight on.
But let me be simple and weak.
Let me be enough
Just as I am.
And if ever you break,
If ever your eyes grow dim
​Or your wit gives out
And that dark gift of yours,
The one you use to abuse us,
If it ever falters
And you find yourself 
On the other side of success,
Looking up from underneath.
Or if ever you discover 
That you're tired of fighting,
Tired of winning,
Tired of pretending
That you are better,
Then come and find me.
I won't hold a grudge,
For after all, we were friends 
Before all of this striving started.
And aren't all of us just waiting
For the day 
When mother earth will wrap us up
In her embrace
And remind us that we are one with her.
Perhaps then,
We'll let each other be
And honor both the on the top
As well as underneath.
