i've always thought
that acceptance would be
the closest thing to nirvana.
i've dreamed of the moment
where i open my eyes,
and see nothing but my truths.

i held my arms wide open
for the feeling of being reborn
into a world of understanding,
but i realized, waist-deep in,
that i was balancing on a tightrope.

i claim to have blinded myself,
trust whatever deity there is,
to guide me into accepting the world.
when in reality, i had closed my eyes.
i refused to open the reality
that did not fit my narrative.

acceptance is beautiful,
but it plays tricks.
and if you don't keep balance,
you might just fail the act.

#Acceptance
