Acceptance & Understanding

I have also learned of late

you have to just accept your

circumstances and not

rebel against them.

As when you disobey

you just make the situation

your deal with far worse

for yourself in

the long run.

Acceptance is welcoming

and letting tough emotions

and situations just be.

Dealing with them as they

come. The best you can.

Instead of pushing them to the

back of your mind and

heart and not dealing with them

at all.

Just allowing and letting be what

will be in any situation arriving

& just admitting you're human and

can not control life at all.

But just going with the flow of it

and not against.

Acceptance and understanding. I'm so practices at this. My problem is the other half; that they understand and accept. Thanks Dee, this is a poem of focus, and clarity and cleansing for me. A good write, thank you!

I agree. Repression leads to depression.

You do good work, Dee. We have to look back in sorrow to see what could be ours tomorrow. (Hey, that rhymes). This poem is like a lighthouse for all us wayward sailors, some of whom might never find the way home. I am so glad you did. This reminds me of the poem "Emperor of Ice Cream," in which my favorite line is, "Let be be finale of seem." We have to accept reality in its entirety as we grasp it, despite any missing facts or warped perception-- because for us it becomes the troll we have to defy at the bridge over whatever river of deceit or spite or emotional strain we have created. You have de-scarified an emotional chamber of horrors by cutting through the fangs, rags and strings and clutter. Very insightful. Usage issue: fourth line from the end should be "... you're human ....." (contraction for you are, not possessive).

Amen to that- fighting it makes it more difficult- let go and let God- all a lesson to be learnt- wonderful wisdom🌹
