"Acceptance" We Are Our Own Worst Enemy Sometimes!

This is a song about judgments, that we make on each other and our own selves. We accept other judgements of us and find ourselves feeling less about ourselves because of those accepted judgements. Those judgements then become our own. Ever read The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz? Be Impeccable With Your Word, Don't Take Anything Personally, Don't make Assumptions, and Always Do Your Best! Ahhh yes! So by realizing all of these things the pathway to self acceptance is right there before us. Thank You Mr. Ruiz!

Acceptance

a song:

If waves come down and crash on my head
and drown me in a world that goes unsaid,
If waters rise in a carnivorous fashion
and I fail to reach my hand into the air,
If I suffocate my Dreams and visions
and generate only enclosed and tidy thoughts,
If I jump into empty spaces without question,
If I walk into the fire leaning towards the heat,
Will I somehow be acceptable
by the tens and thousands of heartbeats?
Will your eyes smile on me?

Oh please
if there be a cure to me
can I reach it in some other manner?
Would it be acceptable to just try harder?
Might there be ... a battery
to connect to me
so I won't make a mistake?
One that forces me to stand up right.

But wait...
Who are you
to measure me so?
You who stands but never grows
Ahh someone I no longer choose to know.
Your eyes do not see ... everything.
