Acceptance

Topic: Lifepoems

Acceptance

Like the wispy branches of the willow tree
My once firm beliefs have bent with the wind
The feelings once strong now set free
My heart feeling bruised and skinned

Grasping as a drowning soul to any lifeboat
Once feeling so smug with my perceptions
Now accepting this passing note
My life has been filled with misconceptions

Opinions I felt and expressed freely
Judgments were made, conclusions met
With intent to benefit others ideally
Though evidence of such is not seen yet

Unkind words sensed and spoken
Seeing my life through rose colored glasses
Painfully yet silently hearts were broken
Time ticking by as each day passes

So with deep sadness yet joy I release these dreams
Acceptance comes at a seemingly high cost
From deep within me come silent screams
Of many years so quietly and unknowingly lost

For life is not about beliefs at all
To set the soul free I must release my mind
Of each slight, hurt, fear, no matter how small
Shut it all down unshackle the ties that bind

Live my life filled with unconditional love
Find the power deep within my soul
In peoples no longer push, pull and shove
Inner peace is now an attained goal.

Very good poem with a lot of insights.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
