Acceptance

I like the depression in my life
The evil in my words
The destruction in my mind
And my smile that seems kind

My love that seems patient.
My Heart that seems repaired.
My faith that seems strong.
My life that seems fair.

I like the dishonesty within my friends.
The lies they tell me.
The times they've failed me.

I like everything that comes to me.
The pain that stings like blisters on my skin.
The tears that burn the corners of my eyes, as I hold them in.
The breath I try to find that escapes me.
The smile I hide behind so no one will shake me, and tell me to get over it.

I like it.
I have to.
Nobody knows the depression in my life.
The destruction in my mind.
This fake silly smile I hide behind!
Nobody but.... Acceptance.
Me and him get along well....can't you tell?
