What the body knows, it never loudly tells, But hums in aches beneath the skin’s thin shell; A quiet ledger kept in pulse and bone, Of borrowed strength the mind has overthrown. It speaks in heaviness behind the eyes, In breaths that shorten, subtle, compromised; In trembling hands that once were steady guides, Now falter where resilience slowly slides. The spine remembers burdens left unnamed, Each silent yes where protest was restrained; And muscles, knotted tight with unspent fear, Hold stories words have never brought to ear. Yet in its wisdom, soft but firm and true, The body pleads for what it’s always knew— Not conquest, nor endurance worn to dust, But rest, and time, and gentleness, and trust. ==================END=================== #Exhaustion, #MentalFatigue, #BurnoutRecovery, #BodyAwareness, #SelfCare, #MindBodyConnection, #WellnessJourney, #HealingProcess, #StressRelief, #RestAndRecharge, #EmotionalHealth, #PhysicalWellbeing, #InnerBalance, #HolisticHealth, #SelfHealing, #Mindfulness, #HealthyLiving, #EnergyRecovery, #ListenToYourBody, #WellbeingMatters
