Acceptance
All I want you to know
Is when we talk
Our echoes glow
Like candlelight
Within this darkness
Casting circles tall enough
To illuminate our way
Through the night...
All I want you to do
Is take these fearful seeds
And plant them in your soil.
So the insecurities
Can boil in the sun
And we can grow,
Over the lake,
A godly oak
That overshadows
Grounds for my mistakes.
All I want you to feel
Comes from a safety chasm,
A tiny room,
Once concealed.
And now I've let you in
To look around
At all my paintings,
Treasures,
Broken record players -
And yet you smile
At it all:
The picture perfect photo albums
And the static-filled soul TV
Leaned up against the wall...
Now tune into the channel
Broadcasting my flaws.
And I will stand in awe
As you take comfort in the beauty
Of my agony.
The worse... The better...
Acceptance.
Let us be human together...
