A Beggar's Acceptance

People should be accepted for being themselves not who everyone else wants them to be.

On my hands and knees

I cry to a Higher Power

Let me be accepted

So I can come out of the Tower

Out of the Tower, into the world

I pray for someone's love and affection

And for a place with an opened mind

I might be different but not for attention

I am different because I was born this way

I want nothing more than to be able to live my life

Live the way I am comfortable with 

And to have no fear of discovering a knife

I am a beggar, I beg for mercy and understanding

I want to give others a courage to seek harmony

If we can't live with everything out in the open

We will the very few among the many

i really like this piece too...although felt something or some word was missing in the last line...did you mean "we will be"?

if we can't be ourselves...we will live in a closet all our lives...and be miserable...freedom needs to be what it says...really freedom.

Oh, if only the world were more merciful and understanding....just think of how much more pleasant everyone's lives would be. Living as you are comfortable is a great freedom....and once you have decided what will make you serene and peaceful, you have empowered yourself. I enjoyed this one. Lydi**
