Poems about Acceptance
#acceptance
Poems about acceptance, coming to terms with difficult life events. Poems about accepting challenging past situations and getting closure emotionally.
I Think it’s About Damn Time
To let go
Say farewell
Walk away
From a life
That never wanted
Me in the first place
And find my own
Say farewell
Walk away
From a life
That never wanted
Me in the first place
And find my own

Look at Love
Look at love
You found everything you wanted and everything I’m not
Everything that was empty love occupies the spots
Lock eyes, laugh and smile
Everything that had been missing for awhile
But every now and then you look
And though your reading the pages, you don’t know the book
Love looking back at you reciprocated
Belief in forever rejuvenated
And as you look at love with its new face
Enjoying the peace yet it feels outta place
You’ve looked for love and love you found
Listen to the melody and memorized the sound ...

Imperfection
Do not presume
to arrive unscathed
a delicate journey
missteps are paved
Born imperfect
a fate for all
mistakes made
discovering the fall
Lack of precision
affording insight
prepares us to rise
ready for flight
Recalling the lessons
hard-fought but learned
autonomy itself
ultimately earned
Scars do not define
no longer do we bleed
in acknowledgement
we become freed
The uneasy life
a precious gift
with acceptance
perspectives shift
to arrive unscathed
a delicate journey
missteps are paved
Born imperfect

Simple Deadly Changes
Change is such a funny little thing.
Our daily repetitive burnt out lives, longing for a slight difference in what is brought onto tomorrow.
Because one simple change can be all it takes for somebody to completely hit rock bottom.
But it also ought to be one of the most unexpected, subtly frightening things.
Because that night you see, things had changed so much for me.
Your soothing words flow like the lullaby of death and the silent impact is most disastrous.
For that night what seemed so simple, was far more impactful than anyone ever could have...

Laughter at My Father's Passing
My father told me, on his death bed,
My child you are more evil than was I.
Not because you fill people with dread!
And not because you have the Devil's eye.
Oh no, it is because you are a lot like me,
Only you do not regret the things you do.
As I breathe my last, you weep not I see!
Is it because you and I both always knew?
That one day you would eclipse me fully.
Congratulations, daughter... and farewell...
And after that, no more did Father breathe!
I can only assume, his soul went unto Hell.
Oh what am I, sometimes I ask,...
My child you are more evil than was I.
Not because you fill people with dread!
And not because you have the Devil's eye.
Oh no, it is because you are a lot like me,
Only you do not regret the things you do.

Quandary of silence
Oh! Wait...
Is it over?
Did I miss a line?
Did you?
I didn't hear anyone call "scene"
or see the curtain drop,
but I'm standing in the dark
wondering
what comes next.
---
Are you still here,
or is that just your ghost?
---
What do I say now?
Prompter, please!
I wanted to know how this story ends.
but...
If it's already over, ...

All too common sense
Why question ?
it’s boring
and it gets on our tits
Go protest
in silence
somewhere
where that shit might fit
Be told
why don’t you!
Just do as I say
Now you’re marching for freedom
mate, that sounds a bit gay
Listen,
it’s not hard
we all think the same
This conflict you’re causing
maybe it’s all in your brain
How can we be wrong
if each of us agree
The world is as it seems, dude
we don’t...

Peace then until
I miss it
the sense of rhythm
a hint of purpose
that poetry helped describe
it never mattered if I
were good or bad
or if my thoughts were
deep or small
as words flowed
from an unknown
and crystalized by being right
I became .... more than I am
which in all honesty
is true for all that rhyme
and offers a bond
though tenuous at best
letting words seep into our soul
and then it's gone
in the blink of an eye
unable to write
or feel complete
I miss it
even though
I'm not sure what ...

Forgiveness
Through forgiveness I have taken accountability for my life. Life is unforgiving and so its a challenge.
We're these mere beings not knowing anything about ourselves for a long long time, but life feels good and days and months and the years go by, and we're living our lives making the best of these things happening around us trying not to fall apart inside.
I embraced my wrongdoings. This is a hard & ugly task to endure, because on the inside your guts are screaming & crying and hating you over these things that you just can't skip over.

Sometimes(The walls) Hurt
Verse 1
Even if I could, I don't think I should
make you feel something for me
it's just another sunset in history
take it how you want, don't worry, I won't
no more need to lie
tomorrow has already said goodbye
Chorus
Alone at last, just us two, fading fast
afraid to say what we both know
that today was tomorrow that we let go
maybe it's my fault or yours
but this disease has no cures
I'm not a man you need, so godspeed
and adios my friend
tell them hello for me, I got a wound to tend
...

Rinse and repeat
Night washes over the city
Bringing the buzz of streetlights
And pulsating rhythms of bars
A disease coursing through bodies
Infecting everyone who hears
Parasitic invasion of the soul
We drink and dance in and out of time
Laughing and floating with the smoke
That fills every corner with mist
Looking for connection to something
A need to be felt and heard
Not unlike the music we sway to
When morning comes
We'll return to our formulaic lives
Until next time
Rinse and repeat
Till...
