Acceptance 10/14/2025

Acceptance
Is more than
Liking oneself
In a current
Situation
It’s also about
Learning to love
The parts of you
That bring shame
And doubts.

Tis opening your heart
And believing
You are good enough
And worthy enough
To be loved
And appreciated
No matter what.

Tis about loving
Those parts of self
That embarrass you
We all have chapters
In our storybook
We don’t want
To read out loud
To others.

We lovingly accept
All the proud moments
And the shameful
Ones too
They equally receive
The same amount of Love
For they taught us
About
Who we are
In all moments.
