A Search for AcceptanceA Poem by Samantha GreeneI was not accepted for being bisexual, but as time went by I began just counting on enjoying who I am and not caring what my parent's thought. It is a part of me and I only care if I accept it.I coward to that
spot Down by the lake. I feel summer is
evanescent Cracking through
this rip of time.
Ignoring the
horripilation I dream on about
the time before. When everything
seemed in noble spirits. And I was no
curse. A gift, Not just a
possession.
I feel droplets
dispatching down My carmine cheeks. Bittersweet. And many
cavities along my neck That used to be
such a wonder to discover Now still
surviving on words left unspoken With only time
on my arms to tell the story My mind darkens
the land I’ve obsessed personifying on my body. Oneself
acceptance perhaps.
I hold what I
found was left. A simple call. And what am I
expected to say? My farewells? There couldn’t
be anything left of myself. Without an
indulgence of credence. Being young,
what should I see in the precision of this life? I stare off into
a beauty. But wonder if
it’s all just a collage. Like my life had
been before uncovering this truth.
Reassurance was
all I needed. Seasons changed. Lies unraveled. But only this I
continue to seek. So for the
answers I spent seeking.
I stare now at
the lake It frozen with
ice. And I beam. I’m alive. And never gave
up on one’s self. I feel that
chill so satin like against my old devil’s spine. Somewhat like a
