Acceptance

Acceptance For the longest time I lost the love for myself That true deep acceptance in the soul That I'll never be perfect no matter what And it's ok to be fractured, not whole I stumble, I fail, I fall I struggle, I hurt and I cry I misjudge, trust too deeply, I crumble My sharp angles, my faults do defy But knowing people still love me Warts and all they see past Begs me to believe in myself again If they can, so can I at last I'm happy now with that image From the mirror that does reflect I've won the battle of wits Knowing still I'm not perfect I love those scars I no longer hide I love what the ravages of time show I'm whole in my psyche and being From within I radiate a glow Acceptance on every level Internally and all without I love myself wholly and fully And I declare it without a doubt
