Acceptance
The ache of this painful reality opens up my eyes.
I think I’ve been dreaming for far too long and now it’s time I wake.
Acceptance, just the thought of the word makes my heart sink into the abyss of my deepest fears.
I’ve been lying to myself for far too long; it’s time I accept the truth.
This is the skin I’m in.
This is the life handed to me. I can’t be anyone else.
I can’t be who I want to be. Brutal, painful, jarring awakening.
A cold numb ache of my acceptance.

Self acceptance is one of the hardest things to do. It tears down the walls and fences of a house you've been living in inside your mind's space.
Finally realizing the position you're in and dealing with it for what it is can really have a positive impact on the rest of your life though.
When life is now the truth, pinpointing what can be fixed is a lot easier.

Very true but some times the things you must accept and allow change are the only things that are holding you together. That's when the unstable crumbles under its own self loathing and the damaged becomes the irreparable.
