Acceptance

I am a person
Just like most other
Holding onto every moment
For precious times
Collect their memories
And lock it away
For judgment day

All we need is acceptance
Is that not why
We are here in the end

I too get down
Seeking singing praises
For a job well done
At the home front
And height of a career
That is flourishing
Delicately maintaining balance

All we need is acceptance
Is that not why
We are here in the end

I push those around me
Perhaps too much
Wishing to fulfil
Their own accomplishments
Average is not good enough
Being your very best
Is what I can live with

From the heart
Char
