Sick Of Trying To Prove

In this moment, In this second of my life. I need a break from this proving fight.   I'm tired of trying to prove myself I'm tired of the perfectionism height I'm tired of it Tired of trying with all of my might. The thrills of the game of life at times aren't fun The pressures of performing well and success, make me numb The trying of proving myself It's so much to withstand So much to take hold It seems like too much, a loss of control Navigating it all Trying my best in every way Seems too much to bear For any person every day But what is it I'm trying to prove? And why is it so? Why can I not just go at my own pace, at my own flow? The stress of life is too much There's the pressure of school, Pressure of career and choice Pressure to make something of myself Pressure to have a voice I want to release it all Let it go in every way, shape and form   I want to feel OK with being me... Being who I am in my purest form The hustle of life, I just don't want to accept I want to escape it Make it not become something that I've kept I want to make it go away with each one of my steps. I'm holding onto this freeing feeling of letting this "proving thing" go Because the truth is, I know. I know I'm sick of trying to prove myself to everything and everyone In all honesty, the only person I should be proving myself to. I'm the one. I'm the one who sets my bar I'm the one who knows what I am truly capable of near and far I'm the one who determines my fate I'm the one. This whole thing with proving myself, it's all in my head, I can live my life on my terms. I can set my own path. I can be free to be who it is I want to be. I am free to make my own choices. I'm letting popular belief and standards go in every way. Because I can be free I can be free from all of the noise I can erase the heights that I have been drawn. I can set my journey. I can dare greatly and be who it is that I want to be. I can let go of proving and be completely free... I can be me And be free to be me.
