I’ve accepted I may never birth a child in this life.
I may have to settle for a meadow of flowers,
Where I heal the child within me instead.
I’ve accepted that when I was strong enough to love,
I had to make music about it instead of experiencing it.
I’ve accepted that every time I tried to find what I was missing,
It only made me miss you instead.
I’ve accepted that the life I thought was my inheritance,
Was stolen from me and given to another.
I’ve accepted that it wouldn’t have mattered if I knew this before hand or if I was completely unaware…
It was always going to happen exactly as it has.
I’ve accepted that maybe I’ve done something so awful in another life; that I’m meant to endure harsh rejection & lack of simplicity in my life.
But what I won’t accept is the fact that I’ve accepted these things. I’m too rebellious to watch my heart die, without fighting for its life.
I will become as bold as a storm, and as flippant as the wind to escape a life without peace.
I will become peace, by leaving everything that denies me that.
I am not afraid to begin again. I am not afraid to leave and live.
I am not afraid to be alone.
Im afraid of monotonous living pretending to be some pinnacle of self sufficiency, with a trembling nervous system as I beg love to find the decency to validate my heart. That is hell.
I’m afraid that everytime I speak up on my hearts behalf, I’ll be stoned to silence as people bury me calling me unruly.
I’m afraid of having people in my life so willing to misunderstand me, to the point of rage.
Im afraid of losing what I have already lost everything else for.
I’m not the type of love that would receive a baby to live for, when everything else couldn’t teach me. I’ve accepted that.
I think I’ll have to find a way to learn alone.
