Always wanting to fit in,
To be accepted
To be loved.
Always left wanting more,
Feeling out of place
The outcast
Bullied,
Abused,
Ridiculed,
Alone.
How do I fit in when everywhere I turn I am not welcome?
How to belong…
Finding a Peace in knowing I do not have to…
It isn’t necessary for me to belong with others;
To be accepted by others.
As long as I accept myself;
As long as I love who I am, what I have become,
For me.
That longing was never to belong or be accepted;
It was a longing to find Me,
Not someone else’s version of me.
The Me that I have always been
And will forever be.
Freedom
Peace
Unconditional Love
Acceptance….
It’s beautiful to not have a longing for acceptance;
It’s beautiful when you realize you already are accepted.
The Universe within you is unique and extraordinary;
It has been with you all along.
The acceptance,
The love,
The Peace….
It comes from within, not without.
A poem about internal growth. Learning to love myself. Learning that unconditional love and acceptance begins within me.
