when you begin to believe
too strongly
that you control your destiny
you begin to feel like
you are walking a very thin tightrope
not everything is because of you
and some things are meant to happen
and so
they just happen
regardless of how you intend
you try to grasp something
and still it moves away
you become filled with dark doubt about love
and still love finds you
wraps its arms around your fear
so
accept the dark parts of yourself
that are difficult to accept
and accept the parts of yourself
that are angry with you
for not readily accepting
also, accept the world
as it flows in and out of you
do not be afraid to lose love
it always comes back.
