Acceptance

By B P Rachiti

When reality lies understated beneath

Beneath an ocean of prejudices

Prejudices that one has against oneself

Oneself that has seen shinier times

Times that one knows will indeed come and go

Going away thus, that never seemed harder

Hard because, how does one run away from what one truly is.

Is the scare or fear mean one cares?

Care that may be stereotyped for internalization

Internalizing that could mean being invincible or tunneling to destruction

Destruction that is best understood as wrapped in infinite remorse

Remorse that is unbiased to both, the weak and strong

Strong that is often misinterpreted for the number of wins

Winning that is a thing of the past now it seems,

And a past that one runs away from often

Often thus, being the number of times one despises against the awareness of what seems to be an endless loop.

Loops that thus, teach us that maybe, destiny does in fact exist.

For not we know the depth of it,

But willing to co-exist whilst it, maybe stands to answer the reason of it all.
