Poems about Acceptance
#acceptance
Poems about acceptance, coming to terms with difficult life events. Poems about accepting challenging past situations and getting closure emotionally.
Hard
Oh, hard, when will you see.
Familiar is, your company.
Arduous…, you, finding need.
Knowing, it's just time wasted.
And again, it says to me.
Need is, wants, creation.
A.R.M.

Teflon coated
22 of 30
they look at me & I can see it
instant dismissal
so casual...
glance sliding sideways
still...can't honestly say I blame them
not much visible to the naked eye
everything worth noting...is hidden
inside
let me share a little secret
never underestimate a Survivor
we may appear quite ordinary
...boring even
sitting quietly in our corners
but there's a lot going on behind the scenes
...beyond mere observation
peripherals clocking 360°
reading more than sits on the surface ...

Disorganized Attachment and BPD, the Beast Within
Intensely craving
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity

My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced

For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most

Girl Just Wanted to Have Fun
The teacher always told her not to stand up on the swing but she always did it anyway.
I hated her guts because she always used to chase me home from school, pull my hair and try to kiss me.
She was huge and ghastly.
She scared the shit out of me.
One day at lunch she was doing her standing on the swing stunt, while the sound of Cyndi Lauper filled the air from a shitty cassette deck radio near by.
She was singing along to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" when she fell off and ate the ground so hard!
It still makes me cringe and laugh thinking about it now....

all in the moment
all the insufficient
yesterday's
the slights
the pain
the wounds
let it all be
let the sleeping
dog of the past
lie still
the past happened
it will always have happened
and it will never not have happened
no genies magic
lamp can change
that fact
the past is unalterable
like the chance of finding
one rotten apple in a
beautiful orchard
instead
focus on this single
moment
you ...

Broken pieces
2009
"Apply beneficial caution!" directed Estelle,
from great hardship
(ice just keeps leaving me nervous!).
"Observe! Please quit running!"
(Snow, tripped under vendor's window—
xtreme yelling zone!)
2024
Zip your x-rayed wound very unassumingly,
to start restoring
quintessential promise
of now-metallic limb.
Know joint injuries have great fallout,
ergo: don't consider
breaking
another!

On Daisy the dog, whose life was saved by her cuteness
Our Daisy is a “special” dog
with such peculiar fears,
we wonder what is going on
between those soft, warm ears.
We got her from a shelter;
she was born completely deaf --
so twice within her first three months
she was abandoned, left.
A communication “expert”,
eagerly the task I met:
to train a dog who couldn’t hear
to be our family pet.
Through positive conditioning,
hand signals, flashing lights,
she mastered all the basics,
aced the class - oh what delight!
But deep within her heart ...

Sanctuary in Shadows
In the heart of revelry, beneath Bourbon's neon glow,
I danced, amidst spirits of joy and tales of woe.
Big Daddy's, our stage a world both fierce and fair,
A realm where shadows danced in the sultry air.
Thirty years on that floor, where dreams and demons meet,
Witness to lives that twirled on the edge of bitter and sweet.
The veil thinned, revealing energies dark and wild,
Yet around me, a sanctuary guarded me tenderly and mild.
Guarded by unseen forces, in the night's embrace,
I moved untouched, through time and space.
The abyss beckoned,...

The Ability to Accept
In the constant endless changes of life’s ebb and flow
Acceptance is an integral part of development and growth
Embracing the reality that unpredictability is certain
And so we should walk in accordance with the universe
Trying to resist change can be often fruitless and futile
To reach our destination we may need to alter the course
Or rather go with the flow in order to move in rhythm
Having synchronicity and agility to go along with the currents
If we set our sails and use the winds to our advantage
We must know that storms will be...

Quicksand
Quicksand
--Nacton Shores--
On Sundays,
when shadows had lifted from my Mother
like a Victorian veil,
she'd pick me up, take me shoring.
We'd walk the long stiff length of Orwell.
I'd run off ahead -
hunting dead wood, dragon heads,
mermaids all dried out.
I'd observe traversing opportunities,
steep, eroding cliffs,
roots digging fingers
into earth for generations.
The tattered remains of jellyfish
often wedge within this sand,
become hunter's fodder.
and I, merciless,

deep romance
I get it
how hard you try
bringing me flowers
dinner dates
under candle light
silk sheets and flower petals
thinking this is romance
and I love them
I really do
these useless gestures
letting me know you try
yet the charade
is not want I need
but something harder to find
trust
dropping the facade
the most sensual thing in the world
the gift of vulnerability
just to be us
