Acceptance

I’ve gone through grief,

anger, hurt, and now,

it’s time to let go.

If not, I’ll get untimely wrinkles.

And so it begins.

Acceptance.

Some steps are needed,

for healing. For dealing

with emotions.

You forget your life

after a while, that life

you had and cherished,

seems like pearls on string,

but now it’s torn –

you move on.

If you don’t –

you are lost too.

So acceptance.

For the sake of my skin,

if for nothing else?

Grief, anger, hurt, and now…

Acceptance.

For self-love then.
