Acceptance

How do I tell them

that life is truly an ongoing journey

Your soul will fight

 your heart will shatter

your will 

will break

Each step you take continues to move you forward

Each turn is another season of life that you will endure

The time you spend fighting is wasteful

It will prove nothing except defeat

The strength is within you

the answers are deep in your soul waiting to be dug out

do not silence them

take them out

one by one, acceptance is freedom

Regardless of what that looks like

it will blind you at times, but accept it

hold that feeling deep in your bones

refuse to abandon your truth

Let me out

~do you see

do you see me

do you see the real me

~the twisted, bruised & broken me

the thoughts go unheard yet swirl in my mind

the visions are unrecognizable yet flash before my eyes

the voices are but a whisper, yet scream in my soul

~I see you but yet I’m still invisible

i am small when I come beside you

I am lost in the shadows & hover underneath your gaze

~I retreat to the very person I should not become

you have that power still in your hands

where do I go when I am with you

down the path of confusion
