Relinquish

Each day, every hour and precious minute, you must relinquish time, duties, expectations, desires, needs, and daily rituals - you will slowly die to patience.  It will take you.  Breathe through each moment you sacrifice to the pain, the limitations, and the dire need for more than what you have and what you can do.  Exhale the anxiety of dirty dishes and laundry piles and the smelly clothes you may ferment in for days.  Allow yourself to inhale the burning dinner and muffle the screams and whines of children as you relinquish all power over your world.  Don't worry, it gets easier to give in.  You become weaker with every fight.
