​THE GIFT OF ADRENAL FATIGUE

​​
​When you're too tired to think,
when you're too tired to care,
your perspective changes.

And you relaize
that you could have
felt this way
all along.

And you realize
that all the struggling
and effort,
to make things happen,
to make yourself feel safe,

was just that - 
struggling.

And your sweet precious body
couldn't take it anymore.
So it said, Enough.
We're done.
This is not the way.

For that which you seek
is not in the doing,
or some future event.

But in the still quiet spaces
of your own
exhausted heart.
