Acceptance

be true to thy self

Acceptance

 

Acceptance, acceptance, acceptance,

How much can I bite before I Chew?

I’ve been through this dilemma,

Yet there’s always something new.

Can a bark be louder and more than it is true?

Coming from all directions,

 I really thought I knew.

Running with this question,

 I beat around the bushel.

With hopes I’ll find the answer

That for me would seem so crucial,

Yet

I’ll cry, I’ll laugh and smile,

For

Me, my self, and I,

And

Put away that pride.

 To

Catch my breath and sigh.

Author's Note

I've been having a hard time with this one, so I'm putting my rage to the page.

When we are able to transform our anger into understanding and penn such a message into that which touches other, it is considered a "job well done"!
Rage is certainly appropriate at times, and has the power to change when vented in the right way as you have done in your write!

[Christie Moses]

excellently written with a terrific depth of emotion

[lamia]

[Havatara]

Well your rage on the page sounds like it was written by a sage =) Well done.

[An owl on the moon]

A soul-searching message that speaks volumes into the day... And as we approach a new year, it is time for us all to catch our breath and sigh. Excellent write.

[Greg Skura]

This is a Great Poem! We all strive for acceptance at certain times in life. Be who you truly are nothing more, nothing less and you will find..... what ever you require!

[Tate Morgan]

This is your best work so far

[Worms]

Use your anger
embrace the dark side
it makes better poets

[cassandra violet]

I really liked the structure at the ending with the one word and then longer stanza following it. Great work as always :)

[YouoweYoupay]

Rage, confusion, and natural human ignorance of life's unpredictable waves, all well-expressed. I can feel the emotions, and I can easily relate to this poem. Excellent work. *thumbs up*
