I Already Accepted
I already accepted.
The gold metal, the grinding sounds.
Every type of glue that isn’t as good as a nail.
Unknowingly.
I already accepted.
The sweaty feeling.
Wings falling off.
Brand new socks that have tears.
I already accepted.
How everyone is congratulating me.
Smoky and no eyes.
An award like a gravestone.
I already

The girl who had a voice bigger than hatred But a heart that wanted to be accepted
She was the girl that went unnoticed
She kept herself small, she didn't want to be the focus
But deep in her pockets
Her biggest secret
She was a poet
It wasn't some big revelation
Like she had already known it
Her lack of confidence wouldn't let her do it
But little did she know she was already chosen
When she was born her

Somehow I've accepted it
Did you notice how I stopped writing for weeks?
I've stopped getting in the train and let my thoughts collide.
I've stopped getting in the train *with my friends* and let my thoughts collide.
I've stopped *inviting people* and let my thoughts collide.
I've stopped getting in the train and *sit next to people*, letting my thoughts collide.
I've stopped

The Addiction Of Being Accepted
There is an addiction to being accepted
We all fall victim with the lies we tell
The skeletons we hide
This dopamine hit is what we crave
It dictates our every move
Every pawn is different
It's that drug we crave to fix it
To make you see all the more when there is really less
Could be a trauma could be

Acquired Taste
Like fine wine,
She's an acquired taste.
Some will like her,
Others will not.
They can take her
In small sized portions,
Samples,
Or one sip at a time.
Not a full glass,
And never in one go.
She may be
What they want at first,
But so time will move
And while wine
Goes better with time,
She is decidedly not
Or so they will say
As they grow tired

I Want To Be Free
I've always yearned to be free,
Free in my mind,
Free in my soul,
Free in my heart,
Just free.
I remember a moment in Venice,
Strolling along,
Sun setting,
In the distance, people dancing,
Music playing,
Those people were free.
I found myself drifting away,
Towards the crowd,
And I joined,
Arms open, dancing,
Just dancing,
Eyes closed,
Moving my body in pure freedom.
I was free,
Soaring higher into the sky,
With the

Apology Accepted When
Do you hear what was done
Those years ago under the Australian sun
We came to what we were told
Was an empty land for the bold
Some had no choice as a convicts fall
When their sentence was at the old Bailey’s call
Free settlers paid their way here too
Thinking it was all for them to do
So hardships were worked

Splendid Youtube Accepted My Bid
I couldn't get a film career
I was very much interested
In our place they ignored me
I was helpless unfortunately
To become a film actor
Was like sheer gambling
Even if we act in one film
If it is a flop, totally lost
Approaching a director
Was an impossible task
They were inaccessible
And they were arrogant
Film institute said a firm no
When I wanted to

Being Accepted As I Am
Having lived my own life
lessons you learn through time
ones that count for life
to forget would be a crime
Stammered every day since birth
enduring it all incredibly tough
but better things around my corner
believing it could be enough
One day God broke through
revealing His love in His blessed son
who had died for all my sins
to indwell me shows salvation's

Accepted As Himself
He is thrilled; for he can tell he is being accepted and loved.
For who he is, for his whole self, for the real “him”.
It did not happen in his family.
It did not happen in his small home town.
But it has happened for him here.
It may be the first time he has ever felt unconditional love.
It

All Flowers Are Accepted
the world is a garden
where the poems are flowers
and the poets are gardener
bloomed flowers are spreading
the fragrance differently;
somewhere the smell (grammar)
opens its wings pungently
and somewhere mildly;
but to me
all flowers are accepted

--She Accepted Me --
she accepted me
long before reality

at the roots of our family tree
destine to have been

she accepted me
it was meant to be;
sweet tenderly
God has so graciously
gave signs of the matrimony

at the roots of our family tree
destine to have been

she accepted me

the middle of her name
mother already proclaimed
known for 22 years before her born
