Abigail Sansom Poet Free verse

Acceptance

Sleepless nights, congested mind
Emotions fast, unsettled and lost
Clammy hands, hard heart beat.
Loneliness and silence, I am alone. 
Losing control, who am I? 

Strong mind, quietly resilient
Remembering and reminding
This is me.
Flaws are bare, I am proud. 
Clammy hands, hard heart beat.
Empowering and controlling.
I win. 

Tired and beaten down. 
Body slow and weak. 
Rest for now until tomorrow.
Then I will fight once more.
Fight for normality, for calm, for peace.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
